Todd Anderson (Oct. 4, 1961 - Dec. 28, 2020)

Todd Gregory Anderson (AKA: Uncle Buck)
Oct. 4, 1961 - Dec. 28, 2020
Todd Gregory Anderson (Uncle Buck, My Sheriff) passed away Dec. 28, 2020, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland, Ore., the same hospital where he was born. Todd, at 59, had recently overcome stage 4 cancer and heart issues, but complications from a brief illness led to his death.
Todd was raised in Forest Grove, Hillsboro and Buxton by his parents, Vernon E. and Margaret S. Anderson. He attended Brookwood and W. L. Henry grade schools in Hillsboro and graduated from Banks High School. Todd also took college level course work from several community colleges.
Todd never married, but dedicated his life to his vocation and his huge family, which included many close friends, coworkers and brothers and sisters-in-law enforcement. He lived his life large, traveling extensively for work and play.
Todd began his career with the Washington County Sheriffs Office, where he was first an explorer, then a dispatcher and when he turned 21 he became a corrections officer and reserve deputy. In 1985 Todd was sworn in as a Rockaway Beach Police Officer before transitioning over to the Tillamook County Sheriffs Office in 1986. He worked his way through the ranks as a patrol deputy, narcotics detective, sergeant, lieutenant and then was elected sheriff for three terms. Once retiring from TCSO, Todd was selected as the Training Division Director for the DPSST (Department of Public Safety, Standards and Training) where he mentored trainers and new police and fire personnel at the required state academy. He spent 47 months in this position before retiring again and moving to Lake Havasu, Ariz., for several years.
Todd was a "solid cop," a strong leader, reliable, ethical, supportive and was known for building strong relationships with coworkers and other agencies in both law enforcement and various levels of state government. He genuinely loved people as much as he loved being a cop. Todd was outstanding as a politician, having a great sense of humor, amazing stories, a notable calmness and the ability to disarm those who were upset and put them at ease. He worked behind the scenes, mentoring, assisting others, providing resources, yet avoiding the lime light.
Todd was preceded in death by his parents, Vern and Margaret Anderson; and his oldest brother, Craig. He is survived by a brother, Dirk Anderson (Moe); his nephews, Ian Anderson (Natalie), Kaleb Anderson (Rachel), Anthony Anderson (Emily-children Kayne and Camdyn); cousin, Julie Anderson (daughter Shelby) and Gail Sutton.
Todd will always be cherished by his family, including close friends that are considered family. He earned the nickname "Uncle Buck" after being tasked to watch his nephews who were in their early teens, allowing them to stay up into the early morning hours playing poker, drinking energy drinks and eating unlimited candy.
There will be a small private family service followed by a Celebration of Life when Covid restrictions are lifted. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be sent to the Tillamook County Sheriff's Office Chaplains. Todd had assisted in their formation, helped raise funds was a member of the board.
NCCC, P.O. Box 426, Garibaldi, OR 97118-0426.

Laws, Freedom, and Contracts...

I'm frustrated this morning. I've had several bad experiences recently related to state law, company customer service, and contracts between companies that impact customers.
First; Looking for something to spend my time on with COVID going on I thought I'd try WPT poker online. They're a subscription based poker site that uses sweepstakes law to get around a lot of restrictions related to real money online poker in the united states. So I sign up for a Diamond membership 14 day trial. This will run $150/mo. They charge me the second day into my 14 day trial, which was unexpected, but i'm sure I just missed the language in the 14 pages of agreements I approved. I signed up for the 14 day trial because I was interested in some of their diamond tournaments that had cash prizes, like a $10,000 tournament. Once signed in I go to play said tournament and find out that the cash tournaments are specifically illegal in Washington state because of strict interpretation of sweepstakes law and what is considered "value". So I'm out $150 for a 14 day trial of a product that I can't use the way I expected.
Second; I've been wanting to watch Raised by Wolves. Of course I can only get that on HBO Max, not any other HBO app or streaming service membership. I have multiple TVs in my house, none of which support the HBO Max app; e.g.. like my LG tv. I hear that ROKU will be offering HBO Max now, which I have. I sign up for a 14 day trial through ROKU, and find out only some HBO Max content is available through the ROKU. The rest of the content must be accessed with the HBO Max app, using my ROKU login. This does me no good, I have no devices with manufacturers that have an agreement with HBO for HBO Max.
Third; Bought a new Samsung washer and dryer from Costco. Mistake buying a Samsung. Within two weeks the washer is leaking from the bottom. No big deal right? Costco has good customer service. They open a repair ticket with Samsung for me. I get nothing from Samsung for two weeks, finally find out they cannot find anyone in the Seattle area to repair a Samsung washer. On top of it, I get a text from Samsung indicating that they can't find someone to repair my Samsung TV. I don't have a Samsung TV for repair, I have a Samsung Washer. So I 'm returning the washer to Costco, and ordered a simple washedryer set with analog controls. Great, it's available for delivery in a week. We won't be without a washer long. A week goes by, call Costco for status, we won't be getting our washer for probably a month. The Costco systems order status for delivery estimate is way wrong. We cancel our second Costco order, because we've been without a washer for a month now. We go to Lowes and buy something they have in stock.
Interesting note on the issue finding a repair person for the washer. Come to find out there's a shortage of repair technician. The appliance industry person I spoke with indicated the technicians are making enough on unemployment right now many of them aren't working at all, so there's no one available to do the work. Not sure how accurate this is, but interesting if it is true.
It's frustrating that product quality, inter-corporate contracts, and laws are all collaborating against us the consumer. None of it is to serve us, but just increase profits for those in control. Sometimes it doesn't feel like the consumer has a voice, or at least one that is heard.

Im annoyed I still don't know for sure if online poker is legal in the US?

If so, where can I play it? Used to play on Full Tilt religiously. I've been having to travel an hour to the live casino anytime I want to play now.
I've heard 50% people tell me online poker is LEGAL in the US while the other half tells me it's not allowed. So which one is it? Once and for all please tell me the truth 🙏

Grande Vegas Casino Full Review

Grande Vegas is a safe and entertaining online casino which offers its customers a nice range of casino games, fast, reliable payouts, and excellent customer support. Powered solely by RealTime Gaming, it hosts some of the most exciting slots, video poker and table games from one of the most famous software developers.
The online casino offers both instant-play and downloadable versions, but it is also mobile compatible and available to just about any kind of portable device. One of its most remarkable features, however, is that, unlike the vast majority of online casinos, the site welcomes US players.
The web-based casino was launched in 2009, and today is one of the top online gambling destinations for North American players. It is available in English and French, while the only accepted currency is US dollars, which is an indication of the site’s focus on providing its services to the US market.
The country is quite an inhospitable place for gambling operators, yet the operator has apparently found a way to overcome the obstacles and bring US-based players the world-class gambling experience they deserve. The casino is owned by Tigress Management Ltd. and is licensed for conducting online gambling operations under the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands.
It is also one of the few web-based casinos which offer not only generous welcome bonuses but also holds various promotions in order to maximize the gaming experience of its most loyal customers. Moreover, the casino promises a special, “grande” bonus for American players, as well as a wonderful VIP Club available to all members.

Software Providers

Most online casinos today try to diversify their game offerings in order to cater to the needs of a larger group of people. This is certainly a great approach that has proved to be successful, but there are still many other gambling sites that shy away from modern trends and follow their own path. This virtual casino is a great example and is one of the casinos that work with a single software provider. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, by choosing the right partner, the casino has cemented its position in this competitive industry as a site offering a high-quality, reliable and highly preferred product.
The software company providing the games on this particular online casino is Atlanta and Costa Rica-based RealTime Gaming, which is regarded as one of the leading game developers. RTG, as it is better known, was originally established in 1998 and over the years has managed to grow and develop, becoming an industry leader.
Its experience in the creation and supply of casino software is evident. RTG’s games come in high-quality HD graphics, lovely music and sound effects, and smooth gameplay. The games have a distinctive style, easily recognized by all their fans. The gaming portfolio of the company is nicely balanced and includes not only slots but also a diverse range of table games and video poker titles.
The developer offers gambling operators two options; as an instant-play interface that uses Flash and can be opened easily in every web browser; as well as a downloadable casino software. Most RTG-powered casinos provide both of these and this one is no exception. There are over a hundred games that can be accessed in-browser or from the Casino Client and all of them load instantly and run without any problems.
The software emphasizes security and customization and is safe and reliable and considered one of the best in this industry. As the software is recognized all over the world, it is also available to US players.

Play Grande Vegas Casino Games

The online casino offers its customers a full collection of high-quality casino games, ranging from longtime favorites like video slots to classic table games such as blackjack, roulette, poker, and craps. Fans of video poker are also well-taken care of with a nice range of titles that can be found in most land-based and online casinos. For those who dream of becoming instantly rich, the online venue also offers several progressive jackpot games where winnings can go beyond the $1 million mark.
On the negative side, there is no Live Casino, which can be seen as a flaw, considering that most casinos today try to offer as many live dealer games as possible. We should pay little attention to the lack of a Live Casino, however, because the abundance of great RTG slots is really impressive. Many of the games have bonus rounds, extra features and plenty of other options that make the gameplay truly entertaining and intense. Casino members are able to play for real money and for fun, as well, which is a great opportunity for new players to try different games without the risk of losing money.

Slot Machines

Much like slot machines in land-based facilities, online slots are the most beloved games in web-based casinos, attracting a large number of players with the promise of providing fun and possibly some nice winnings. They appeal to the crowds not with a low house edge like blackjack does, nor with the adrenaline and challenges of poker; they remain extremely popular because they switch certain emotional and psychological buttons inside of us. And for this reason, they will remain players’ favorite games, at least in the foreseeable future, experts say.
With over a hundred slot games on offer, this online casino brings players a variety of exciting 3 and 5-reel slots, as well as several quite unusual 6-reel games. You can spend hours playing the different games without feeling bored as they have distinctive gameplays, styles, and themes, as well as mesmerizing music that makes the experience even more enjoyable.
Among the most popular RTG video slots offered at the casino are the Egyptian-themed, Cleopatra’s Gold, Aztec’s Treasure, Cash Bandits, and Count Spectacular. There are also famous titles that can be found at hundreds of online casinos today including Crystal Waters, Enchanted Garden II, Fruit Frenzy, Aladdin’s Wishes, and others.
The casino also hosts select titles from RTG’s portfolio of progressive jackpot slots. These slots are in a network with the games hosted by other casinos supplied by RTG. Each bet placed on the particular game contributes some percentage to the jackpot, which is why it is called progressive; it constantly rises and can reach millions of dollars. There are several progressives offered here, including Aztec’s Millions, Megasaur and named for the famous ancient empire, Spirit of the Inca.

Table Games

Larger casino software developers like Microgaming or NetEnt have much bigger collections of table games than the games in RTG’s portfolio. However, fans of classic casino action will be happy to know that at this virtual casino, they can play almost all RTG’s card and table games. This includes several variations of an option that has stood the test of time, blackjack, including Classic Blackjack 21, Perfect Pairs, European Blackjack, Face Up 21, Suit ‘Em Up Blackjack, and Match Play 21.
There is also a game of Pontoon, which is considered an earlier version of the classic blackjack.
The casino lobby hosts a few other card games, including baccarat, rummy, and table poker, all enjoying huge popularity in brick-and-mortar casinos across the world. Players at this online casino can choose from several virtual poker games, depending on their personal preferences, poker skills, and budget.
These include the game created in 1985 in the U.S. by Sam Torosian, Pai Gow Poker and Tri Card Poker, as well as Caribbean Hold’em, Caribbean Stud Poker, and Let ‘Em Ride which have progressive jackpots. The graphics of these games are quick, colorful and more authentic than you can imagine.
In addition, the casino offers several other table games such as the all-time dice classic Craps or the lottery-like game of Keno.
Another extremely popular casino game is roulette, which despite being a game of chance, does allow players to use certain strategies to increase their winning odds. There are plenty of variations and even more virtual releases from different software providers. The two most widespread roulette games, however, European and American Roulette, are available for free or real-money play here.

Video Poker

Along with virtual slots and table games, the online casino has also prepared a wonderful collection of video poker games for players to enjoy. Since its arrival in land-based casinos in the 1970s, video poker is slowly, but steadily gaining popularity, especially among online gamblers. The game derives from the 5-card draw poker, but just like slot games, and all other virtual casino games for that matter, it is also based on Random Number Generator (RNG) algorithms which determine what cards will be dealt.
This is the only random, chance-related aspect of video poker, the outcome of the game is a result of the player’s decisions and, therefore, can be controlled.
Whether you are a good poker player or not, you can easily play video poker; it is automated and simpler than regular poker. This online casino has a wide range of video poker versions, starting with the classic Jacks or Better game, which does not differ much from classic draw poker. Players can also place bets on Aces and Eights, Deuces Wild, Seven Deuces, All American, Joker Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker, and more.
There are versions featuring the so-called Wild Cards, which can substitute for any other card from the deck, while other video poker games offer higher payouts for certain winning combinations.
For more excitement, the casino has added a few multi-hand video poker variations, where you can bet on up to 52 hands simultaneously. While they bring fun and more opportunities for hitting a winning combination, these games will also make you spend more on a single round. This is why multi-hand video poker is recommended for more experienced players who are able to employ successful strategies when playing.

Supported Devices

As an RTG-powered gambling site, the online venue offers downloadable casino software, which is the standard casino from this developer. It is available for free download from the site. There is a large Download section and you will have the installation file on your PC or MAC just a few seconds after you click the Download button. Once the installation is complete, you can log in or register an account, make a deposit into your balance and start playing for real money.
You can also choose the Play for Fun mode if you wish to first explore the casino games and learn all the basics.
Alternatively, you can open the casino directly in the browser of your computer. All modern Internet browsers are supported, including Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera, Safari, etc. The Flash Casino lobby can be found in the section called Instant Play and it features even more games than the Casino Client. This is quite unusual, but the RTG’s instant-play platform is also rather exclusive and offered only at several other online casinos.
The site is optimized for mobile play, too. It is available on various touch devices, including iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets. There is no need to download a separate application; the Mobile Grande Vegas Casino is accessible through the browser of your portable device. Its design and layout are almost the same as the original, desktop casino, so players who open it for the first time will be able to easily browse through its sections.
All of the casino’s functionalities are preserved in the mobile version, as well. Users will be able to register, play their favorite games, make deposits, and request withdrawals.
As expected, the mobile gaming collection is smaller than the offerings in the desktop casino. Still, players will have a great choice of games on their phones or tablets, including numerous slots, over a dozen video poker games, as well as several classic table games like blackjack, poker, and roulette.

Grande Vegas Casino Bonuses and Promotions

The promotions here are quite attractive to both new and existing players, allowing them to play their favorite games much longer or for free. Let us start with the Welcome Bonus, which, despite being nothing particularly exceptional, is still very generous.
There are qualifiers/wagering requirements that come attached with the bonus, so be sure to determine what they are prior to making a deposit.
In order to qualify for the bonus, players first need to either download the casino software or open the Flash Casino. After registering a real money account, they need to go to the Redeem Coupon section of the Cashier page of the casino and enter the code for the respective bonus they wish to receive. The coupon codes can be seen in the Promotions section of the online casino.
One condition regarding deposit and no-deposit bonuses players need to take into consideration is that not all games contribute towards the playthrough requirement.
The list of promotions at the online casino is quite long with plenty of other bonuses given on a regular basis.
There are many other special offers like cashback bonuses, extra spins giveaways, reload bonuses, as well as slot tournaments. In addition, the casino has a great Loyalty Program and players are automatically enrolled when they open an account.

Grande Vegas Casino Payment Methods

There is one significant inconvenience, which is that international players will need to use US dollars if they want to play for real money at this particular online casino. This is the only accepted currency, which could be explained by the casino’s dedication to its American customers. The offered methods for making deposits and withdrawals are also quite limited compared to the wide range of banking options provided by many other online casinos.
The casino allows deposits to be made using credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Diners Club International), digital wallets (Neteller, Skrill, and EcoPayz), the prepaid Paysafecard, different money transfer services (Western Union, MoneyGram), and wire transfers. The casino does not have any processing fees for the transfers and the deposit should appear almost instantly in your account balance.
When it comes to withdrawing your winnings from the casino, you have several options, but you should know that there is a pending period of up to 48 hours for every withdrawal. Also, financial transactions are not processed during the weekends. If you use a credit card (with the exception of MasterCard, as the card issuer does not allow withdrawals from casinos), the withdrawal will be completed within 3 to 7 business days.
If you retrieve your winnings to your e-wallet, they will be transferred within 24-72 hours. Wire transfers usually take between 5 and 10 business days to complete, while if you are receiving the payout via a courier check, you can expect it in at least 3 weeks. Sometimes, checks would arrive in over a month, which makes them a less preferred payment method.
There are certain deposit and withdrawal limits (maximum and minimums) players need to consider before registering an account here as well.

Grande Vegas Casino Customer Support

When choosing a suitable online casino, players always look for the game offerings and the withdrawal times, but another very important factor that needs to be taken into account is the customer support. A good support team will be able to answer all your questions and provide assistance if you encounter any sort of a problem. You will also want timely responses.
Looking at all this, we can say that the support here is really excellent. The casino interface and support are available not only in English but in French, as well. The support agents can be contacted 24/7 via email or even better, via the Live Chat, where they will answer your query you within a few minutes. There is also a toll-free phone number for US-based players, as well as an international line for the rest of the world.
If you feel all these are not convenient enough for you, you can also call the support via Skype; it's quick, easy and free of charge.
When it comes to the support agents, they are experienced, knowledgeable and very efficient, and are ready to assist you with anything you need. The professional, timely support service, here will definitely make your stay at the online casino more comfortable and enjoyable.

Licensing and Restricted Countries

The virtual is owned and operated by Tigress Management Ltd., which is not one of the large gambling operators, but it is well-known in the industry as a safe and reliable partner. It is registered and licensed under the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands and is one of the few options for US-based players. Due to the strict regulations in the country, residents are accepted by only a small fraction of the online casinos today.
Here, however, they can play their favorite games for real money without having to worry about their safety over the web. The casino utilizes SSL encryption in order to protect its customers’ personal and banking data. All financial transactions are encrypted and perfectly safe.
There are, however, certain regional and country restrictions when it comes to real-money wagers at the casino. Currently, the virtual casino does not allow registrations to be made from several states and these are New York, Kentucky, Washington State, Maryland, New Jersey, Louisiana, and Missouri. It also does not accept players from countries and regions where offshore online gambling is prohibited by law.

FindFace: part 4. Alfa Bank - In late July 2016 NTechLab conducted the first test of FaceN biometric algorithm on members of the public at the annual Alfa Future People Festival

[“Someone high in the Russian government wanted a communications channel between the Kremlin and the Trump Transition Team.” – TIME (2019)]
TIME—Questions Remain About Putin's Request for a Back Channel to the Trump Transition
(5/21/2019) ”A few weeks before Donald Trump became president, Russian banker Petr Aven, a billionaire oligarch with Moscow’s Alfa Bank, pulled aside Washington lobbyist Richard Burt at a corporate meeting in Luxembourg with a sensitive request.
Aven told Burt that ‘someone high in the Russian government’ wanted ‘a communications channel between the Kremlin and the Trump Transition Team’ according to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s recently released report. Aven wanted Burt, a former ambassador who had helped Trump’s campaign, to work on setting it up.
Burt later told Mueller’s team that the request was, in the words of the report, ‘outside the normal realm’, even for Burt, a well-traveled Washington insider who had worked with Aven for years. It looks even more remarkable now.
The ‘high’ Russian official was none other than President Vladimir Putin, Mueller’s team would later learn. Amid what Mueller called a ‘flurry of Russian activity’ during the Trump transition, the Aven outreach is the only publicly known instance in which Putin, a onetime KGB spy, was personally involved in directing Russia’s clandestine efforts with the incoming administration.
The surreptitious contacts involving Putin, Aven and Burt as described in the Mueller report contradict repeated assertions by Alfa Bank that it had no contacts with Trump or people around him. At the time of Trump’s election, Alfa Bank was at the center of a mystery over an unexplained surge in computer traffic from Moscow to the Trump Organization in the midst of the 2016 presidential campaign. Computer analysts concluded that Alfa Bank had developed a covert communications channel to the Trump Organization.” http://web.archive.org/web/20190731064842/https://time.com/5592739/donald-trump-petr-aven-alfa-bank

•Financial Times—Skadden’s oligarch work comes into focus after Mueller charges (2/23/2018) “Mikhail Fridman, the Ukrainian-born billionaire and co-founder of Alfa Group, would rely on Skadden in his battles with the British government and with BP, the UK oil and gas group. Roman Abramovich [http://facebook.com/story/graphql_permalink/?graphql_id=UzpfSTEwMDAwMDQyNTc3Mzc1MDpWSzoyNDAwMTU2MjA2ODk2MjM5], the Russian billionaire, trusted the firm so much that he made the head of its European operations the chairman of Chelsea football club after he acquired the team in 2003. After almost three decades of relationship building and profit making with the toughest businessmen to emerge from the ruins of the Soviet Union, the firm has found itself under the spotlight as the US Department of Justice investigates Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. On Tuesday, Alex van der Zwaan, a former London-based Skadden associate, pleaded guilty in a Washington DC court to lying to government prosecutors investigating the lobbying activities of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates in Ukraine. Mr. van der Zwaan’s prosecution by Robert Mueller, special counsel, is connected to a report Skadden wrote in 2012 for the Ukrainian government as part of a PR campaign allegedly orchestrated by Mr. Manafort. The report continues to haunt the firm six years later. Skadden would advise the oligarch in his successful court battle with Boris Berezovsky, his one-time friend and mentor who fled Russia in 2000 after clashing with Vladimir Putin. Skadden’s fees in the Berezovsky case in 2012 were a reported £35m. Mr. Buck became chairman of Chelsea after advising on Mr. Abramovich’s £140m takeover in 2003. Mr. Buck, now retired from Skadden, declined to comment for this article. He once rejected the label of ‘Abramovich’s right-hand man’ and instead called himself ‘the little-toe-on-the-left-foot man’. The firm also forged a relationship with Mikhail Fridman, acting for the AAR consortium that included Mr. Fridman and German Khan, a Russian-Ukrainian billionaire, in its battle with BP in 2011. Skadden later represented Mr Fridman when the UK government forced his L1 investment vehicle to sell gasfields in the North Sea. The firm gained a reputation for handling knotty and difficult corporate deals. Pavel Malyi, the firm’s first hire in Moscow who later served as chief financial officer of Sibur, the gas processing and petrochemical company, said Skadden would be his first call for tricky transactions in Russia. A lawyer who saw the firm’s litigators in action called them ‘tough, smart and savvy’. But Skadden’s involvement in Ukraine’s turbulent politics proved less sure-footed. In 2012, Mr. Manafort, the American lobbyist and later campaign manager for Donald Trump, helped arrange a report by Skadden for the Moscow-backed government of Viktor Yanukovych, former president of Ukraine. US investigators have taken an interest in the case as part of Mr. Mueller’s investigation into Mr. Gates’ and Mr. Manafort’s dealings in Ukraine. On Thursday, Mr. Mueller filed new charges of fraud and tax evasion against the pair. Mr. Manafort has denied wrongdoing. Mr. Gates is expected to plead guilty on Friday to conspiracy against the US and making a false statement The Ukraine report has been thrust into the spotlight once again because of Mr. van der Zwaan, 33, a Dutch national who worked for Skadden in London. The Russian-speaking associate worked on the Tymoshenko report. Mr. van der Zwaan’s profile, since deleted from Skadden’s website, also listed work for Gennady Bogolyubov, a Ukrainian oligarch, when the businessman was sued by his fellow countryman Victor Pinchuk in 2013. He also acted for Mr. Abramovich’s businesses in relation to mining assets in Ukraine, according to the profile. Last summer, the associate’s connections to the oligarch world deepened when he married Eva Khan, a daughter of Mr. Khan, the Russian-Ukrainian billionaire whose interests Skadden has represented in the past alongside Mr. Fridman.” http://www.ft.com/content/741975b0-18ae-11e8-9376-4a6390addb44 (http://archive.is/EWc7e)
•Tea Pain (data science blog)—Data Patterns Suggest Trump ToweSpectrum Health Ran a “Stealth Data Machine” With Russia (3/8/2018) “Jared Kushner is currently taking a victory lap, crowin’ about his ‘Stealth Data Machine’ that put Donald Trump over the top in the 2016 race. Let’s pry off the lid and peer into the inner-workings of this ‘Data Machine.’ The Signal in the Noise: Building on the data analysis by @Conspirator0 on Twitter, Tea Pain has stumbled onto a possible ‘signal in the noise’ that opens a window into the data-swappin’ shenanigans going on between Trump Tower, Spectrum Health and Russia’s Alfa Bank during the election. The data traffic, when analyzed, tells a very different story, a story of automated, orchestrated data sharing among multiple sites for a strategic end. Tea Pain originally dismissed this story as a possible red-herring. With the Russia craze at a fever pitch, this activity could be explained by what Tea’s daddy used to say, ‘When you got a new hammer, everything looks like a nail.’ But when Tea Pain saw the data patterns analyzed by Conspiritor0, he knew he’d spotted something mighty familiar: Database Replication. Put a pin in that, more on that later. At first, data analysts were puzzled by what appeared to be random activity with no apparent pattern. Perhaps it was email activity? Maybe money transfers? But there were literally thousands of these IP ‘pings.’[...] Whatever was running, it would hook up, transfer data for a few minutes, then go to sleep for an hour. This was the clue that led Tea Pain to formulate a much clearer working model to explain what we were all seeing: SQL Server Database Replication between multiple sites. What Is Database Replication?: Database Replication is a rather simple concept. When you have a database with millions of records representing hundreds of gigabytes of data, and you would like to keep a copy of that database housed in 2 or more locations, it makes no sense to continually copy the entire database from point A to point B every time a change is made, so you ‘replicate’ it. This allows only the changes made to be sent from one database to another[...] Tea Pain’s working theory is that Russia created a voter targeting database with information gleaned from hacked DNC data rolls and other data rolls ‘acquired’ from other states to feed this growing contact database. That database originated at Russian Intelligence which was in turn replicated to Russia’s Alfa Bank. This is where the ‘data laundering’ takes place, Alfa Bank is the pivot point where the FSB’s data fingerprints are wiped clean. Ironically Russia launders its data at the same place it launders its money. At Trump Tower, more data could merged into this system using various legal sources as well. Spectrum Health could also add value to the data by matching names and addresses in their extensive healthcare databases to harvest email addresses and phone numbers to flesh out this list. All these changes would be promptly replicated back to Russia in a matter of hours. Once back in the hands of Russian Intelligence, this massaged data could be programmatically matched up with social media handles to create a micro-targeted ‘hit list’ for the thousand Russian trolls employed by Putin.” http://web.archive.org/web/20170404010239/https://teapainusa.wordpress.com/2017/04/03/data-patterns-suggest-trump-towerspectrum-health-ran-a-stealth-data-machine-with-russia

•Slate—Was a Trump Server Communicating With Russia? (10/31/2016) “This spring, a group of computer scientists set out to determine whether hackers were interfering with the Trump campaign. They found something they weren’t expecting. [...] In late July, one of these scientists—who asked to be referred to as Tea Leaves, a pseudonym that would protect his relationship with the networks and banks that employ him to sift their data—found what looked like malware emanating from Russia. The destination domain had Trump in its name, which of course attracted Tea Leaves’ attention. But his discovery of the data was pure happenstance—a surprising needle in a large haystack of DNS lookups on his screen. ‘I have an outlier here that connects to Russia in a strange way,’ he wrote in his notes. He couldn’t quite figure it out at first. But what he saw was a bank in Moscow that kept irregularly pinging a server registered to the Trump Organization on Fifth Avenue. More data was needed, so he began carefully keeping logs of the Trump server’s DNS activity. As he collected the logs, he would circulate them in periodic batches to colleagues in the cybersecurity world. Six of them began scrutinizing them for clues. (I communicated extensively with Tea Leaves and two of his closest collaborators, who also spoke with me on the condition of anonymity, since they work for firms trusted by corporations and law enforcement to analyze sensitive data. They persuasively demonstrated some of their analytical methods to me—and showed me two white papers, which they had circulated so that colleagues could check their analysis. I also spoke with academics who vouched for Tea Leaves’ integrity and his unusual access to information. ‘This is someone I know well and is very well-known in the networking community,’ said Camp. ‘When they say something about DNS, you believe them. This person has technical authority and access to data.’) The researchers quickly dismissed their initial fear that the logs represented a malware attack. The communication wasn’t the work of bots. The irregular pattern of server lookups actually resembled the pattern of human conversation—conversations that began during office hours in New York and continued during office hours in Moscow. It dawned on the researchers that this wasn’t an attack, but a sustained relationship between a server registered to the Trump Organization and two servers registered to an entity called Alfa Bank. The researchers had initially stumbled in their diagnosis because of the odd configuration of Trump’s server. ‘I’ve never seen a server set up like that,’ says Christopher Davis, who runs the cybersecurity firm HYAS InfoSec Inc. and won a FBI Director Award for Excellence for his work tracking down the authors of one of the world’s nastiest botnet attacks. ‘It looked weird, and it didn’t pass the sniff test.’ The server was first registered to Trump’s business in 2009 and was set up to run consumer marketing campaigns. It had a history of sending mass emails on behalf of Trump-branded properties and products. Researchers were ultimately convinced that the server indeed belonged to Trump.” http://web.archive.org/web/20161031215320/http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/cover_story/2016/10/was_a_server_registered_to_the_trump_organization_communicating_with_russia.html
•The New Yorker—Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign?; A team of computer scientists sifted through records of unusual Web traffic in search of answers. (10/15/2018) “A set of cryptic data has inspired a years-long argument over its meaning. In June, 2016, after news broke that the Democratic National Committee had been hacked, a group of prominent computer scientists went on alert. Reports said that the infiltrators were probably Russian, which suggested to most members of the group that one of the country’s intelligence agencies had been involved. They speculated that if the Russians were hacking the Democrats they must be hacking the Republicans, too. ‘We thought there was no way in the world the Russians would just attack the Democrats,’ one of the computer scientists, who asked to be identified only as Max, told me. [...] As Max and his colleagues searched D.N.S. logs for domains associated with Republican candidates, they were perplexed by what they encountered. ‘We went looking for fingerprints similar to what was on the D.N.C. computers, but we didn’t find what we were looking for,’ Max told me. ‘We found something totally different—something unique.’ In the small town of Lititz, Pennsylvania, a domain linked to the Trump Organization (mail1.trump-email.com) seemed to be behaving in a peculiar way. The server that housed the domain belonged to a company called Listrak, which mostly helped deliver mass-marketing e-mails: blasts of messages advertising spa treatments, Las Vegas weekends, and other enticements. Some Trump Organization domains sent mass e-mail blasts, but the one that Max and his colleagues spotted appeared not to be sending anything. At the same time, though, a very small group of companies seemed to be trying to communicate with it. Examining records for the Trump domain, Max’s group discovered D.N.S. lookups from a pair of servers owned by Alfa Bank, one of the largest banks in Russia. Alfa Bank’s computers were looking up the address of the Trump server nearly every day. There were dozens of lookups on some days and far fewer on others, but the total number was notable: between May and September, Alfa Bank looked up the Trump Organization’s domain more than two thousand times. [...] One remarkable aspect of Foer’s story [Slate] involved the way that the Trump domain had stopped working. On September 21st, he wrote, the Times had delivered potential evidence of communications to B.G.R., a Washington lobbying firm that worked for Alfa Bank. Two days later, the Trump domain vanished from the Internet. [...] [T]he Trump-Alfa Bank story seemed to fade. The Trump campaign dismissed any connection, saying, ‘The only covert server is the one Hillary Clinton recklessly established in her basement.’ Bloggers and tech journalists assailed the Slate piece online. The cybersecurity researcher Robert Graham called the analysis ‘nonsense,’ and complained, ‘This is why we can’t have nice things on the Internet.’ He pointed out several problems. For instance, Foer’s sources had found that the Trump domain was blocking incoming e-mail, and argued that this was evidence that Trump and Alfa Bank were maintaining a private communications network; in fact, Listrak routinely configured its marketing servers to send e-mail but not to receive it. Graham also noted that the domain was administered not by Trump but by Cendyn, a company in Boca Raton that handled his company’s marketing e-mail. Alfa Bank hired two cybersecurity firms, Mandiant and Stroz Friedberg, to review the data. Both firms reported that they had found no evidence of communications with the Trump Organization. The bank also began trying to uncover the anonymous sources in the Slate piece. Attorneys representing Alfa contacted Jean Camp, telling her that they were considering legal action and asking her to identify the researchers who had assembled the data. [...] Alfa Bank was founded by Mikhail Fridman, in the last years of the Soviet Union. Fridman was born in western Ukraine and studied metallurgy in college. Like many others of his generation, he was introduced to the market economy through hustle. He sold theatre tickets, washed windows, and ran a student discothèque. After the Soviet Union collapsed, in 1991, Fridman joined the scramble to befriend members of the new government and amass a fortune with help from the state. Along with an economist named Petr Aven, who had previously served as the country’s minister for foreign economic relations, Fridman built Alfa Bank into one of the most successful businesses in the new Russia. Its parent company, Alfa Group, now controls the country’s largest private bank, along with financial institutions in several European nations. Fridman and Aven acquired reputations as brilliant, relentless businessmen. Describing the lawless post-Soviet years to the journalist Chrystia Freeland, who is now the foreign minister of Canada, Fridman said, ‘We were absolute savages.’ In a notorious episode in 2008, a group of Russian companies, including Alfa Group, tried to gain control of a joint venture they’d formed with British Petroleum. The power struggle was so fierce that the C.E.O. of the joint venture, Robert Dudley, felt compelled to leave Russia. The oligarchs kept pushing for control of the BP venture until it was sold to a state-owned petroleum company, for fifty-five billion dollars; Alfa Group’s cut was almost fourteen billion. Alfa Bank prospered during the Yeltsin years and has continued to do so under Putin. Though Fridman and Aven are not part of Putin’s innermost circle, they have managed to avoid the fate of some other oligarchs, who have had assets seized and, in a few cases, been imprisoned, after falling out of favor. Michael McFaul, a former U.S. Ambassador to Russia, told me he was impressed that Fridman and Aven had ‘navigated the very difficult world of maintaining their private business interests and not crossing the Kremlin.’ One reason the server story alarmed Alfa Bank was that it threatened the bank’s standing in Washington. Members of Russia’s government and many of its businessmen have been under American economic sanctions since 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea, but Alfa’s principals and representatives have enjoyed access to U.S. politicians at the highest levels. Fridman and Aven met several times with officials at the Obama White House, discussing such issues as Russia’s effort to gain entrance to the World Trade Organization. (Alfa Bank maintains that it has ‘never advocated for political or trade issues on behalf of the Russian government.’) ‘Fridman and Aven were seen as people that Washington could talk to about U.S.-Russia, because they checked two boxes—they were ‘polite company’ oligarchs, and they could shed light on Putin’s intentions and perspective,’ a senior official in the Obama Administration told me. ‘They got meetings at State and on the Hill and at the White House. And they were understood to be operating with the consent and guidance of Vladimir Putin.’ Alfa is still closely tied to the Russian system, but Fridman and Aven live much of the time in the United Kingdom. If there was a communications link with the Trump Organization, it might have been created without their knowledge. According to experts I spoke to, large Russian companies typically have a member of the intelligence services, either active or retired, working at a senior level. If a company’s services are required in some way, the officer—called a kurator—coördinates them. ‘A company couldn’t say no,’ a Washington-based Russia expert told me. (When asked about this, an Alfa Bank spokesperson said, ‘To our knowledge there are no senior intelligence officials at senior levels at Alfa Bank.’) This past May, I saw Petr Aven in New York, at the Four Seasons Hotel. He had just come from a dinner in Washington, at which he had met a group of prominent Americans, including officials from the White House, to discuss Russia’s economic situation. Aven seemed worried about surveillance; before we sat down, he brought his phone to the other side of the lobby and hid it behind a plant. He wouldn’t say much for the record, but he told me that his bank didn’t have ‘any connection at all with Trump—nothing.’ Aven and Fridman have visited Washington less often since Trump took office. But Trump’s victory appeared to elevate Alfa Bank’s connections there—at least by association. Don McGahn, the White House counsel, came from Jones Day, one of the law firms that represent Alfa Bank in the United States. McGahn brought five Jones Day lawyers with him into the White House; six more were appointed to senior posts in the Administration. Jones Day has done work for businesses belonging to a long list of Russian oligarchs, including Oleg Deripaska, Viktor Vekselberg, and Alexander Mashkevich. The firm has also represented the Trump campaign in its dealings with Robert Mueller. For this reason, McGahn secured an ethics waiver that allows him to talk to his old firm when its clients have business before the U.S. government. In June, 2017, Trump nominated Brian Benczkowski, a lawyer who had overseen the Stroz Friedberg report for Alfa Bank, to lead the criminal division of the Justice Department. At his confirmation hearing, Benczkowski said emphatically that Stroz Friedberg, like Mandiant, had rejected the possibility of complicity. The investigation, he said, found that ‘there was no communications link between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank.’ Democratic senators expressed concern that Benczkowski had taken on work for Alfa Bank; he had been a senior member of Trump’s transition team and had good reason to expect that he would be appointed to a job in the Administration. ‘The client was a Russian bank that is under suspicion of having a direct connection with the Trump campaign,’ Senator Richard Durbin said, during the hearing. [...] [T]he traffic coincided with Paul Manafort’s time as Trump’s campaign manager—but the D.N.S. queries continued after Manafort stepped down. ‘A lot of people are seeing faces in clouds,’ Leto said. The Trump Organization had done little to clarify the matter. In October, 2016, it released a statement denying interactions with Alfa Bank ‘or any Russian entity.’ Instead, it offered a peculiar explanation for the D.N.S. traffic: it had been triggered when ‘an existing banking customer of Cendyn’—the marketing firm—had used the company’s systems to send communications to Alfa Bank. Such a scenario would be highly irregular; it was as if Gmail had allowed a user to send e-mail from another user’s account. ‘It makes no sense,’ Paul told me. Trump’s advocates claimed that the investigations sponsored by Alfa Bank had proved that Alfa and the Trump Organization were not communicating. In fact, they sidestepped the question. Mandiant, one of the cybersecurity firms, said that it was unable to inspect the bank’s D.N.S. logs from 2016, because Alfa retained such records for only twenty-four hours. The other firm, Stroz Friedberg, gave the same explanation for why it, too, was “unable to verify” the data. As Jones’s team vetted the data, they examined various possible explanations. One was malware, which had played a role in the hack of the D.N.C.’s computers. Most malware has ‘distinctive patterns of behavior,’ Camp told me. It is typically sent out in a blast, aimed simultaneously at multiple domains. There is a ‘payload’—a mechanism that activates the malicious activity—and a ‘recruitment mechanism,’ which enables the malware to take over parts of a vulnerable computer. None of the experts whom Jones assembled found any evidence of this behavior on the Trump server. ‘Malware doesn’t keep banging on the door like that,’ Paul said. A second possibility was marketing e-mail. After the Slate article appeared, some commentators suggested that Trump’s server had innocently sent promotional e-mails to Alfa Bank, and that a computer there had responded with queries designed to verify the identity of the sender. [...] The timing and the frequency of the D.N.S. lookups also did not suggest spam, Paul and Leto believed. Mass-marketing e-mails are typically sent by an automated process, one after another, in an unbroken rhythm. The Alfa queries seemed to fall into two categories. Some came in a steady pulse, while others arrived irregularly—sometimes many in a day, sometimes a few. ‘The timing of the communication was not random, and it wasn’t regular-periodic,’ Paul said. ‘It was a better match for human activity.’ But, if the Trump server wasn’t sending or receiving e-mail, what could explain the traffic? There was the possibility of ‘spoofing’—essentially, faking an identity. [...] As Jones’s team sifted through explanations for the traffic, they began constructing their own theory. ‘What you have here is a minimally viable technical footprint of a small number of people who are using what I suspect is an ad-hoc system to communicate,’ Paul said. ‘Anytime the F.B.I. or anyone else pulls apart a cyber-crime organization, there is always some communication structure that’s used for command and control. That’s where the high-value communications happen.’ (Max and his colleagues did not see any D.N.S. evidence that the Trump Organization was attempting to access the server; they speculated that the organization was using a virtual private network, or V.P.N., a common security measure that obscures users’ digital footprints.) If this was a communications mechanism, it appeared to have been relatively simple, suggesting that it had been set up spontaneously and refined over time. Because the Trump Organization did not have administrative control of the server, Paul and Leto theorized that any such system would have incorporated software that one of the parties was already using. ‘The likely scenario is not that the people using the server were incredibly sophisticated networking geniuses doing something obscure and special,’ Max said. ‘The likely scenario is that they adapted a server and vender already available to them, which they felt was away from prying eyes.’ Leto told me that he envisioned ‘something like a bulletin-board system.’ Or it could have been an instant-messaging system that was part of software already in use on the server. Kramer, of Listrak, insisted that his company’s servers were used exclusively for mass marketing. ‘We only do one thing here,’ he told me. But Listrak’s services can be integrated with numerous Cendyn software packages, some of which allow instant messaging. One possibility is Metron, used to manage events at hotels. In fact, the Trump Organization’s October, 2016, statement, blaming the unusual traffic on a ‘banking customer’ of Cendyn, suggested that the communications had gone through Metron, which supports both messaging and e-mail. The parties might also have been using Webmail—e-mail that leaves few digital traces, other than D.N.S. lookups. Or, Paul and Leto said, they could have been communicating through software used to compose marketing e-mails. They might have used a method called foldering, in which messages are written but not sent; instead, they are saved in a drafts folder, where an accomplice who also has access to the account can read them. ‘This is a very common way for people to communicate with each other who don’t want to be detected,’ Leto told me. David Petraeus, when he was the director of the C.I.A., used this method to exchange intimacies—and to share classified information—with his lover, Paula Broadwell. In June, an attorney for the Mueller investigation accused Paul Manafort of using foldering to facilitate secret communications. Given the limitations of D.N.S. data, none of the independent experts I spoke to could be certain of what Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization were doing. Some of them cautioned that it was impossible even to guess at every way that an e-mail system might malfunction. A senior analyst at a D.N.S.-service provider said, ‘Things can get messed up in unexpected ways.’ But Paul and Leto maintained that they had considered and rejected every scenario that they had encountered in decades of cybersecurity work. ‘Is it possible there is an innocuous explanation for all this?’ Paul said. ‘Yes, of course. And it’s also possible that space aliens did this. It’s possible—just not very likely.’ [...] If Trump and Alfa Bank [...] were communicating, what might they have been talking about? Max and some of the other scientists I spoke to theorized that they may have been using the system to signal one another about events or tasks that had to be performed: money to be transferred, for instance, or data to be copied. ‘My guess is that, whenever someone wanted to talk, they would do a D.N.S. lookup and then route the traffic somewhere else,’ Richard Clayton, of the University of Cambridge, said. Camp also speculated that the system may have been used to coördinate the movement of data. She noted that Cambridge Analytica, which was working for the Trump campaign, took millions of personal records from Facebook. In Camp’s scenario, these could have been transferred to the Russian government, to help guide its targeting of American voters before the election. The researchers I spoke with were careful to point out that the limits of D.N.S. data prevent them from going beyond speculation. If employees of the companies were talking, the traffic reveals nothing about who they were or what they were saying; it is difficult to rule out something as banal as a protracted game of video poker. ‘If I’m a cop, I’m not going to take this to the D.A. and say we’re ready to prosecute,’ Leto said. ‘I’m going to say we have enough to ask for a search warrant.’ More complete information could be difficult to obtain. This March, after Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee announced that it had found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, the committee’s Democrats filed a dissent, arguing that there were many matters still to be investigated, including the Trump Organization’s connections to Alfa Bank. The Democrats implored the majority to force Cendyn to turn over computer data that would help determine what had happened. Those records could show who in the Trump Organization used the server. There would probably also be a record of who shut down the Trump domain after the Times contacted Alfa Bank. Cendyn might have records of any outgoing communications sent by the Trump Organization. But the request for further investigation is unlikely to proceed as long as Republicans hold the majority. ‘We’ve all looked at the data, and it doesn’t look right,’ a congressional staffer told me. ‘But how do you get to the truth?’ The enigma, for now, remains an enigma. The only people likely to finally resolve the question of Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization are federal investigators.” http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/15/was-there-a-connection-between-a-russian-bank-and-the-trump-campaign (http://archive.is/MSR3j)

Online Home Games?

Hi All, For the last few years I've been running a monthly league game/home tournament. We're now looking to transition the league online, which is actually great because we've had some people move out of state recently and now they can come back into the fold.
Problem is that I don't know what platform to use... Zoom with Pokerstars.Net seemed like a good option and I installed the latter last week easily enough. Problem is that as of today I'm getting location errors when trying to join a club (note: I'm in Washington state where online poker is illegal).
We are going to be using "play money" of course, no illegal Venmo transfers will be allowed. I'm all about following the law.
Question for you all in states where online poker is banned - how do you run your virtual "play money" home game league tournaments? We are 4-months into the current 9-month league season and considering we take a 10% rake from each session which goes towards the final pot, there is real fake money at stake here and I really want to get the league moving again.

Online Poker -- WA

I am a little confused about this. I've seen some things that say it is straight up a crime to play any form of online poker if cash is involved, even if it's a free roll.
I've seen another big site say don't believe that BS, it is impossible for you to get in trouble.
I'm a little confused because some sites accept WA state. So, if I play there, the website is the liable one right? Or no? Even Bovada accepts WA state now, which I dont think they did for awhile. BetOnline does too.
I feel like the people that would get in trouble are those who mask their IP/addresses despite being in WA state to play on sites that don't allow WA state?
Thanks for the answers, sorry if it gets asked a lot.

michigan lottery results post; Is Taking Your Chance With the Lottery a Worthy Investment?

If you actually contemplate it, there are certainly a remarkable number of life's situations which are inherently risky. Nearly everything a person does is some form of gambling. Despite such mundane act of waking up and likely to work, increases one's chances to be killed in a transportation accident. In face of today and everything you understand about investing, be it in operation, an asset class (stocks, bonds, real estate, cash and commodities), or index fund, even yet in its most basic element, it is nothing more than "betting" that someday tomorrow is going to be better with pleasant expected returns on investment; or even not michigan lottery results post . There is only one big risk you ought to avoid and that's the risk of doing nothing and not taking your chance.
Come to consider it in face value, purchasing hardly any money market in fact is, legalized gambling, per se. You can look at investing when it comes to chart formation, or you place your money in the utilities anticipating when they are "due", you money in or again maybe not; or you select to possess any one of many countless analysts culling spreadsheets or fund index investors work on the fundamentals of investing for you personally in manufacturing, real estate, cash and commodities-no matter what your reasoning for that, if that's not gambling, then what is? Basically, you're betting that in 5, 10 or 15 years from there could be more people, buying more stuff, utilizing more energy, dependent on more gadgets-with hope that you can money in; or even not. You are basically "betting" on every one of it.
So it's, with the lottery-a type of gambling with origins in Florence, Italy, where the first lottery was held in the 16th Century, then called the Lotto de Firenze, and quickly adopted by other Italian cities. It became a national lottery, and still known today as the Lotto in Italy, as also adopted and called in a number of other countries, including the United States. The lottery, as a questionnaire of government-licensed gambling, involves drawing of lots for a variety of winnings and for the massive jackpot prize. Gambling, like poker, blackjack, roulette, sports betting and racing, can involve skill or just chance alone; however the lottery doesn't require any special skills-set to play.
Just like any risk, there's always something at stake. Even if you determine to take the risk of starting a company, you stand to reduce money, time and your reputation. The exact same things you stand to achieve once you take the chance to start your own personal business. The lots you purchase to play the lottery are today in the form of tickets and the prize is usually a sizable sum of cash. The draws are random and every player has the same potential for winning the major prize which regularly grows really big with massive roll over jackpots.
Gunning for the Biggest Jackpot Games
National, regional and local laws govern the lottery, so regulations differ widely among countries or even within them, such as the US. In the US, Powerball prizes have increased sharply due to the cost per ticket doubling to $2, and California, the nation's most populous state, joining 42 other states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands, in playing the game. The Powerball combines a sizable jackpot game and an income game drawn twice a week, every Wednesday and Saturday. For an additional dollar, you can add the PowerPlay option which increases how big your prize in the event that you win. The Mega Millions tickets cost $1 per play, with the MegaPlier option that costs an additional $1 with that you simply raise your non-jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times; drawn every Tuesday and Friday..
You have other world richest lottery games with that you simply get the chance to take your chance through secure online outlets like WinTrillions, Florida Lotto Magic, and Euro Millions Oracle. You can get your tickets from these online outlets to play lottery games, like:
Generally, life is approximately taking chances. Everything you do in life is approximately taking that leap of faith with the target to attract abundance. Anything in life that is worth having, takes time. Nothing in life is truly guaranteed. You just have to find a balance. You will find that balance with the lottery games with calculated risk, for example, you place up a budget of how much you can afford on tickets weekly and strictly work with that budget as you remain patient, positive, and hopeful that someday tomorrow you may be the next jackpot winner. You need to be consistent with your allowance plan. Even when you are on a roll, reinvest only the set amount of your budget. Put aside profits from your own small wins you are able to reinvest in future plays. This idea is utilized by players in the stock markets and other money markets and is really a simple one. Let your profits do the job to cut your losses when you pursue the best goal-the jackpot prize.

Can’t get PokerstarsVR to load? Try a vpn!

So for two weeks+ I couldn’t get on pokerstarsvr. It drove me nuts! Always a black screen and before that it was a black screen followed by it being unresponsive.
After harassing the discussion board a dev finally told me that PVR isn’t available in Washington State, USA.
Turned on my vpn to a new york ip address and I haven’t had anymore problems.
So if you gave up but have a vpn. Give it ONE LAST TRY!
Edit: I AM NOT A LAWYER AND THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE This might only be tied to my state so might as well just say WASHINGTON STATE. To any doubting or confused as to what is causing this. ""The Washington state law defined gambling as “the staking or risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance or a future contingent event not under the person’s control or influence, upon an agreement or understanding that the person or someone else will receive something of value in the event of a certain outcome.”
Based on this definition, Big Fish Casino constituted illegal online gambling, according to the appeals court.
Despite the ruling, the Washington State Gambling Commission was quick to point out that they did not order social gaming sites to stop their free online play offerings in the state. In a tweet, the gambling commission said, “We are not a party to the civil court case, we did not testify in the case, and we did not order these sites to discontinue free online play for Washington residents.”
In a statement to USPoker, PokerStars’ parent company The Stars Group said it is “reviewing the rulings and ensuring that our activities are in line with state regulations.”
“We are hopeful the law will be clarified and that when it is, we will be able to reinstate all Washington players at their current status,” according to The Stars Group."" https://calvinayre.com/2018/04/06/business/pokerstars-stops-offering-free-online-poker-washington-state/ Seems to explain what is happening. Due to a court ruling in a case with big fish games or whatever. Pokerstars is keeping themselves safe until they can get a 100% guarantee that they are legal. Even though the gambling commission did not come after them, and they stated they have no intention. Pokerstars realises it COULD get in trouble BECAUSE the other company got in trouble in a different form of court. So it creates a "gray area" that they simply don't want to risk.
With the statement
"In a tweet, the gambling commission said, “We are not a party to the civil court case, we did not testify in the case, and we did not order these sites to discontinue free online play for Washington residents.”"
I interpret that as legal, so long as you do not purchase any tokens. Which I never have and think is fucking retarded. No loss due to never having the intention. I use the free tokens and what I win. So I don't see it as circumventing the law when it comes to gambling and all that legal jazz and jargon.
I realized this(the above info) might be good to look into to make sure I wasn't encouraging anything "bad". So I gathered this info for you to determine your own opinion and decision in the matter. This is not all the information and I encourage you to do your own fact checking due to this being made in 2018 and that I AM NOT A LAWYER AND THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE nor encourage anyone to participate in illegal behavior. I am simply informing you of a way to enjoy pokerstars. If your IP address is washington state based. You will need to change it if you want to access pokerstars. If you are temporarily in Washington, this is why you can't get on. I AM NOT A LAWYER AND THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

Is sports betting online legal?
There is NO prohibition against gambling online, and that includes betting on sports. It's not explicitly legal, but it's not explicitly illegal either. The UIGEA makes it illegal to process financial transactions relating to online gambling. There are no federal laws that specifically make it illegal to bet online.
How do sports bets work?
Sports betting is what it sounds like. You place a bet on a sporting event and win a set amount of money if the team or player you bet on wins. Placing bets on sports is a way for some people to make money and a way for many to enjoy watching a contest more than if they didn't have money riding on the outcome.

REASONS why the new XBOX is so creepy to anybody with an attention span...

prepare yourself for a long, copy/pasted list that you'll probably just scroll past in order to complain about the length...
I don't understand how people are so dense
It's not going to stop with the kinect.
Verizon got a lot of shit last year for introducing a DVR with similar creepy features - talking about targeting contraceptive ads to people it detects romancing, etc... http://www.fiercecable.com/story/verizon-patents-targeted-advertising-method-determines-if-viewers-are-laugh/2012-11-30
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/dvr-camera-microphone-target-advertisements-based-recordings-users-014434311.html
Yeah a lot of kids are going to get it and have zero problems. They'll grow up loving the technology and have no problems being laseIR scanned at every waking moment. No problem with that at all. We can trust companies that make electronics, no matter how invasive the tech is or how many times they get caught lying/aiding spy/law enforcement organizations
might as well copy/past this here too...
The kinect, and other viewer-monitoring devices, are going to change advertising and programming/content to levels you couldn't believe.
The IR will know which parts of commercials send the most blood to our cocks, or which tv-show arguments/news programs get us mad, what makes us happy, what we'll sit through, etc...
I personally think tv, and everything else "entertainment" now, is derogatory and pandering enough as it is. If they're going to be openly collecting this kind of data - and openly trying to monetize every aspect of it - and not so openly using it for scarier purposes...
TV and movies are going to be TERRIBLE in ten years, not to mention how far the police state will advance by then...
This shouldn't be about gamers avoiding one company's product, it should be a society rejecting an incredibly invasive technology being foisted into our everyday lives
copy/paste, mostly from before PRISM was publicized
look up "Stellar Wind" and "Trapwire" if you don't know what they are.
this is far from the extent of it...
The concept is similar to Xbox Kinect – a commercial product that uses cameras to recognize gestures – but the UW technology is simpler, cheaper and doesn’t require users to be in the same room as the device - - Using WiFi to see through walls
For these next two, keep in mind the "illumiroom" and other room-scanning/imaging and kinect apps...
building inspectors looking for code violations, parole officers looking for probation violations, bail bondsman and debt collectors looking to locate people/evaluate their properties, SWAT/police/military whatever units will surely want precise mapping and all the other fun stuff... What are advertisements going to be like in ten years when everyone's got a profile of which images/sounds pump the most blood to certain parts of their bodies, what makes them nervous/upset/scared, etc... If you think the "entertainment industry" is too big for it's britches now, just wait.
Every time they say they won't or aren't doing something creepy, they end the statement with something like "except when the law applies, or for public safety"
but wait, there's more...

The State Of Online Poker Is F*CKED UP  Real Poker Talk ... Beautiful Washington. Episode 1 - Scenic Nature ... Online Poker for Americans - YouTube TOP 5 BIGGEST POKER POTS IN TELEVISED HISTORY! - YouTube How to Form an LLC in Washington State - YouTube Can You Make Money Play Poker Online (Real Money) - YouTube Online Poker Laws In The United States - YouTube The 10 Best Places To Live In Washington State - YouTube Most Controversial Poker Hands ♠️ Poker Top 5 ♠️ ... Daniel Negreanu's GREATEST POKER MOMENTS ♠️ PokerStars ...

Washington is one of the few US states that has banned online poker WA websites outright. Under a new amendment made in 2006, it became a Class C felony to gamble online within state borders. In 2010, many US sites stopped taking real-money poker deposits from players in the Evergreen State. No, there are no laws that permit state-regulated internet poker in Washington. This sets it apart from New Jersey , Nevada , Delaware , and Pennsylvania : the only four states to have thus far established explicitly legal online poker sites. Washington though is known as a fairly permissive state where gambling is concerned though, and some have speculated that there may be a will to regulate online poker at some point down the road, although there is nothing on the horizon as of yet. Online poker players living in the state of Washington will be happy to know that they have many options when it comes to playing. While there are no state-regulated online poker sites, there are a number of poker rooms that operate offshore that allow Washington residents to sign up, and provide a legal option to do so. Latest Washington Online Poker Updates Washington is one of the few states in America that specifically calls out online poker as a crime. Worse, it designates the activity as a felony. In 2006, then-State Senator Margarita Prentice sponsored a bill to make online poker a felony with a $10K fine or five-year prison sentence as the penalty. While Washington has laws against playing poker online, there is light at the end of the tunnel because there are still plenty of online poker sites that are willing to accept Washington residents. This is because the language in the law is simply used as a scare tactic to keep players at state regulated poker rooms where the state will get its cut from all gaming related activities. State laws explicitly prohibit the act of making a bet over the internet, with stiff penalties, for anyone caught contravening the laws. Players can be charged for anything from gross misdemeanors to even Class C Felonies for playing online poker in Washington (neither of which have ever happened or been pursued). Washington State’s current online poker laws are draconian, which has prompted the push for legislative change. (Image: livingmylifeaway.wordpress.com) Washington State is very strict with their gambling laws and is not friendly toward online gambling. Recently, those laws have changed from prosecuting anyone who participates in online gambling to focusing on only those that operate online gambling websites. Home » US Poker Laws » State Laws » Washington State Poker Laws. Relevant State Code: 9.46.010 et seq.; 67.16.010 et seq. Washington State has likely secured a place in the annals of online gambling thanks to the state's status as the first to explicitly outlaw the act of placing a bet online.
