<html>QUESTION: Here in Reno,[http://123jgw.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=95458 Harbor Point project stirs environmental concerns], several casinos have blackjack machines where the ?dealer? is a video of an attractive, young lady. Are the cards dealt randomly the same as would happen on a live table game or are these machines programmed to pay out a predetermined percentage? The machines have player favorable rules, including surrender allowed. So, am I wrong to think this is a better place to play than a live dealer game? ?

Table Master blackjack machines are not programmed to return a set percentage as would, say a slot machine.

| + | == Twenty years after In Utero, Nirvana's importance hasn't dim == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Nirvana's musical response was In Utero. In defiance of their label, Geffen, they called upon the production talents of Steve Albini, alternative rock firebrand behind acerbic noise groups Big Black and Rapeman. Instead of radio-friendly unit shifters, there was a song sarcastically titled Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, smothered in squalling feedback. Cobain's songs touched on fatherhood (Milk It, Scentless Apprentice) and feminism (Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle, a fantasy of cosmic vengeance for a 1940s actress subjected to brutal mistreatment while incarcerated in an asylum). But it also dwelt on the gynaecological and the diseased: see the sickly-sweet Heart-Shaped Box, with its cancerous growths, carnivorous orchids and "umbilical noose". Occasionally, the album's bluntness still alarms.It's hard to draw much holy wisdom from In Utero's tumult of anger,[http://www.cornutiemazziati.it/content/jaka-jest-rentowno%C5%9B%C4%87-najmu0 Jaka jest rentowność najmu_0], black humour, principle, guilt and confusion. "Nirvana were conflicted," says Novoselic. "We cut our teeth on 1980s American hardcore �C intense and political music about independence from the state,[http://wiki.guglier.com.br/Usu%C3%A1rio:Rovahomoimi#Billabong_to_press_on_despite_Coastal_push Billabong to press on despite Coastal push], independence from corporations. We were appalled by the first Iraq war, the jingoism, the petty nationalism. But at the same time we signed a record deal with Geffen, a subsidiary of this Japanese industrial electronics company. Bands like Pavement and Fugazi remained fiercely independent. We had punk-rock values, but we signed those papers. I can't sit here and give you the spiel about independence, especially knowing [Fugazi's] Ian MacKaye. I could never face them again."From their major label vantage point, though, Nirvana reached an audience their indie peers could only dream of. "We meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people," says Grohl. "That's one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they'll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons." Ever upbeat, Grohl is optimistic about the current state of rock, thrilled to hear young bands still cite Nirvana as an influence. "We were real and visceral, fucked-up and ugly. That was what people were craving. And that will never go away. There's a band in a garage right now writing songs for an album that will do the same thing Nevermind did some 20 years ago. We don't know who and where, but it will fucking happen again. All it takes is for that storm to break."More so than Nevermind, In Utero pointed underground �C to alternative rock and the punk feminism of riot grrrl. But its influence spread outwards,[http://wiki.ceeger.com/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Rovahomoimi#2012_Sportskeeda_Writer_Awards_.E2.80.93_Results_.7C_Spor 2012 Sportskeeda Writer Awards – Results | Spor]|[http://wiki.ceeger.com/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Rovahomoimi#2012_Sportskeeda_Writer_Awards_.E2.80.93_Results_.7C_Spor 2012 Sportskeeda Writer Awards – Results | Spor], too. Liam Howlett heard the gnarly riff of Very Ape,[http://simplybrony.org/scottishbronies/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=280545 You Can Help- Yosemite Restoration Fund], the two-minute blast that kicked off side two, and sampled it for the Prodigy's 1994 single Voodoo People. Following his death, Kurt became a lyrical namedrop for rappers from 2Pac to 50 Cent to Jay-Z, who evidently found something relatable in this nihilistic rock star and his tale of drugs, guns and untimely death. Grunge was supplanted in the marketplace by nu-metal, but Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst described Kurt as "an inspiration". And when the next Voice Of A Generation came along, you couldn't help but look at Marshall Mathers, a bleach-blond Molotov of rage,[http://bbs.htdhouse.com/showtopic-381323.aspx Delbert Belton murder- Two teens identified], and spy something faintly familiar.The 20th anniversary reissue of In Utero is out on 23 Sep</html> | ||

| + | |||
| + | <html>The Cribs hope to follow up their 2012 album by releasing two albums in 2014. "Not a double album – two separate records," , promising one LP that's "pop" and one that's "noisy and visceral and immediate"."We're gonna try and do two new records, that's the plan," Jarman revealed. "We've been writing for the past month or so and there's definitely an idealistic concept of these two records, which has come from that – [to show] … two separate sides to the band."It's possible these future albums will draw on the Cribs' past recordings. Last September, a few months after the release of Brazen Bull, Jarman said that they had "a lot" of unused material from their sessions working with Steve Albini. "We've got nearly half an album's worth of stuff recorded with Steve that we want to finish,[http://www.myloveapartment.com/forum/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=258165 Texans named among best places to work in Houston_0]," . The bassist even used the same v-word as he did to NME: "We want it to be quite a quick and visceral record," he said, adding they wanted to release "something a bit broader too". | ||
| + | The Cribs certainly have an audience. Setting aside the question of whether they're , both of the group's last LPs reached the UK top 10. In March,[http://www.5168.biz/home/space.php?uid=238&do=blog&id=207149 There's a Way To Find Out If You Have What It Take], the Yorkshire band released their first best-of compilation,[http://ngar.ols.ukm.edu.pl/index.php/User:Rovahomoimi#Great_Bull_Run_Debuts.3B_Later_Event_Planned_In_Texas Great Bull Run Debuts; Later Event Planned In Texas], Payola, and they are due to follow their current UK tour with .For all these reasons – plus the imminent debut by Jarman's side-project,[http://smoobly.com/ New Home Sales Drop Sharply], Exclamation Pony – the Cribs are "not in a rush" to make LPs six and seven. "In my mind we'll probably be recording by the beginning of next year," he said. "Judging by how we normally work,[http://msi.sibsutis.ru/drupal/content/email-gets-oklahoma-state-employee-removed-building Email gets Oklahoma state employee removed from bu], that's how I see it."</html> | ||

| + | == Stage 2 changes may be rude awakening == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>During a frank discussion of the program in Denver last week, one hospital IT chief said he wasn t sure some organizations really, truly grasp the magnitude of some of the changes demanded by Stage 2. | ||
| + | The panel, convened at The Institute for Health Technology Transformation s IT Summit, was meant to offer assessments and advice for tackling the program at the point where the rubber hits the road. If Stage 1 meaningful use means providers had to demonstrate the capability to perform core measures,[http://www.tongmiqlc.com/thread-12890-1-1.html Parallels Access lets you remotely run Windows and OS X desktop software from an], after all, Stage 2 is where they ll actually have to perform them. | ||
| + | Those tasks include data exchange, more robust security, imaging availability and . And they could be a tall order for some hospitals, said those who ve been in the trenches. | ||
| + | Hank Fanberg, director of technology advocacy at Irving, Texas-based CHRISTUS Health, said he agrees in principle with the goals of meaningful use, but said, it s been a long, difficult, trying road to get there. | ||
| + | The readiness of our vendor has been one of the biggest challenges so far, he said, leaving his facility at the mercy of its ability to release the necessary upgrades. | ||
| + | Derek Kosiorek, principal at Healthcare Consulting, has seen similar issues with his clients,[http://www.bdsmnoordnederland.nl/woordenlijst/index.php?title=User:Chongql0720#Lisa_Kudrow_to_join_cast_of_-Scandal-_0 Lisa Kudrow to join cast of -Scandal- 0], for whom the overreliance on the vendors is stunning. Too many of them, he explained, are waiting for the vendors to release the product they need. | ||
| + | Stage 2 demands more than that, said Fanberg,[http://www.hmopt.com/plus/view.php?aid=31774 Toyota Corolla v Nissan Pulsar Comparison Review], noting that CHRISTUS has been taking a proactive approach to getting a huge group of stakeholders working in concert to tackle the many facets of meaningful use. | ||
| + | We have a meaningful use workgroup that meets every Wednesday,[http://forum.lineage.ge/index.php?/topic/251094-mto-world-exclusive-baby-scandal-kim-kardashians-baby-was/ MTO WORLD EXCLUSIVE BABY SCANDAL- Kim Kardashian's Baby Was], he said 54 different people representing an array of different departments from nursing to pharmacy to health information management. | ||
| + | We ve been meeting for two years now, said Fanberg. We need to deconstruct every single one of the meaningful use criteria and figure out the workflow. | ||
| + | Some panelists had some success stories to share, in areas such as patient engagement. Judy McCarthy, chief technology officer at Denver-based National Jewish Health, cited the easy uptake so far of the hospital s patient portal. ? We wrote it ourselves, and 3,000 patients signed up,[http://tupiandiguo.uueasy.com/read.php?tid=580546 Texas Bureaucrats Stall New Law Holding Abortion Clinics Accountable_0], she said. We didn t do any marketing. | ||
| + | Of course, it s not quite as simple as that, McCarthy added: It s one thing to put a out there, and it s another thing to truly engage the patient. | ||
| + | Indeed, said Kosiorek, Secure messaging is a complete change for providers and the way they do things. Previous1</html> | ||
