The ancient landscape of Western MacDonnell Ranges stretch west from the Central Australian outback town of Alice Springs for over 200 kilometres, forming a rugged red barrier across the vast desert plains of Central Australia. The ranges hold a wealth of spectacular natural features and landscapes, all within an easy hour or two from Alice Springs by car.The long parallel ridges of the Western Ma

Looks like yesterday's rally threw markets into more prolonged sideways trading ranges, rather than take them another leg down. The boundaries for a breakout remain unchanged from before; just a second band of resistance (a new neckline) was added at November highs to create a double/triple(?) bottom with yesterday's low and the late (and early) October low(s). It's still anyone's game with the Su

Kicking range, punching range, clinch, ground fighting etc. These are just a few ranges of combat. Everyone has one range which they are most skilled at and which they prefer there fighting to take place. Boxers obviously favour punching ranges, Thai boxers work well in the clinch, Teakwondo fighters nearly always try and stay within kicking range and grapplers like taking the fight to the floor.

Thanks to LifeHacker for the answer to this one. Now you can reference a column by its header or label. This is wonderful and had more than a few of my end users jumping for joy! It works in OpenOffice as well as most Pc versions and on the Mac!While you're writing formulas in Excel, you can refer to cell ranges not only by hard-to-read row and column numbers and letters but by label. So instead of totaling a column using =SUM(B2:B5), you can write the formula =SUM('Widgets Cranked'). After I mentioned this is a nice feature in Apple's new spreadsheet application Numbers '08, reader Dustin pointed out that it's available in Excel as well, just not turned on by default. To enable it, in the Tools>Options dialog, the Calculation tab, check off "Accept labels in formulas." Thanks, Dustin![Via LifeHacker]Check out our RSS feed. Need Free Tech Support?

Most players will raise preflop with a large percentage of their hands to 3 times the big blind from the button in heads-up tournament no limit hold’em. Responding to these raises through the resteal is the key to playing winning heads-up poker with a short stack at the end of SNG’s. With say, 15 to 25 times the big blind facing a 3x raise, there’s always the option of calling, but to me an aggressive resteal-based strategy is probably more effective as long as the stacks are not too deep, particularly in a SNG where you don’t usually have great reads and are probably playing many tables at once. Especially since most players fold to your resteals too often anyway, I think it’s worth it to push very small edges through restealing unless you are certain that your opponent is just awful after the flop (and many are). By the way, facing a 3x raise with a stack of 15 to 25 times the big blind, I hope nobody who has read any of the material on this site actuall

For those on dial-up please be aware this is a large file.I do hope this image gives you an idea of the expanse of the landscape because so often a single photo will not do this. I did not use any automatic panorama software when stitching three photos together for this image because I just could not get the desired results that I was after. Instead time was spent with layers using Photoshop to get the best results.I had mention in past posts of this trip that my brother and his wife also participated. In fact the original idea to make this trip was my brothers who also has a photo blog with photos of this same trip here. He kindly offered to be chauffeur with his own vehicle although I think I had him scratching his head where he was going to put our camping gear in the 4WD when he saw t

Click for 666kb imageIf you have been following this Gawler Ranges trip you will then realise that this is our second camp for the two nights that this little traveling party made.After a long day on the road, an area was spotted to make camp not all that far off the main Kingoonya to Glendambo road.

As you can see my brothers patrol is laden with all our camping gear, food and water for our two nights on the road. When traveling 'out bush' it is an idiot that would not take extra food and water in case there are circumstances where we are unable to return to civilization in a time frame that we ourselves had planned. Survival in the bush means taking extra supplies or you may perish and this also means making sure family and friends know when to expect you home and if that time frame passes they then can alert the authorities, so that a search can be put into action.There will be more snapshots of this trip later in the week. Tomorrow I will post something dif

Click for 611kb imageIn the creek near the Siam Station homestead there are hops flowering. These are not native to Australia and only flower after good rains, which the area did have. As much as these hops are not native to my country they can put on a magical show in the Flinders Ranges although this does not happen very often due to lack of rain.Click for 623kb imageOf the two nights on this trip that my brother and his wife and Malcolm and I bush camped, this was our first night.

Click for 503kb imageThis image of the Siam Station homestead has been taken from a rise in the landscape that was always referred to as the 'Little Hill'. After having children of my own I asked my mum did she ever worry about my siblings and myself traipsing for miles away from the homestead. In a matter of fact voice her reply was "No, you always came home!". It was in the later years that I also found out that mum used to watch us kids up in the hills through the scope of a gun. Just a little about the homestead:When my dad took on the job of overseer, we lived in the house on the far right.Second building from right is the mens quarters.Third building from right used to be the 'Siam Rural School'. The school was housed in the mens quarters until this building was ready but prior to all of this my mum taught correspondence lessons to me.Moving across to the left is a very large iron shed. This shed wasn't part of the station at the time I lived on Siam Station.Top of that v

Click for 539kb imageStill traveling on Siam Station, it was time for a morning cuppa and when out bush the best way to do this is start a fire and put the stainless steel kettle on, which my brother had packed for this trip. As you can see from the blackened kettle it has been used on a number of occasions in the past. We didn't have billy tea this trip as we all were wanting coffee. If you ever get the chance to try billy tea, do so because it is a very nice way to drink tea. I do cringe though after the tea leaves have been dropped in the boiling water and then the billy swung around at the end of an arm like a windmill gone crazy so that the solid matter drops to the bottom of the container. Never seen anyone burnt 'yet' so who needs a tea strainer when out bush!!! Click for 687kb imagebefore moving on from our morning break a few photos were taken.

Click for 468kb imageVisiting the Siam Station shearing shed brought some wonderful memories of my childhood back. I was disappointed though to find that the old shearing plant had been dismantled for a new one before I managed to get a snapshot of what it used to look like. The shearing boards were very silent but gee I do remember the hustle and bustle of people working and the sheep moving around in their yards as well as the diesel engine running the shearers plant along with many other sounds that happen during shearing, some of which consisted of swear words when things did not go right. Oh what memories!!!

Click for 477kb imageThis catchment of water on Siam Station is known as Government Dam. During the summer it wasn't uncommon for us kids to swim in this dam with a blown up tyre tube to keep afloat and yes there was adult supervision around at the time. I still remember the slime on the edge of the dam squishing through my toes. I now cringe at the thought of that goo wondering what was in it. Click for 383kb imageThis little dam is what is called the 'Catch Hole' that feeds the water from the landscape into the main Government Dam. As you can imagine this water is the 'blood' for the station country because without it, the sheep and cattle will not survive and that includes a vast reduction in native and feral animals, as they will only have what nature provides them; which in this part of the country is minimal.Click for 419kb imageMoving on from from the previous catchment we come to what is called the Two Mile Dam.

Other members of the family also had worked in the Gawler Rangers in the past over many years.As you can see from these images the day was rather damp with rain often obscuring the far distances. This had us wondering if we should have been making this journey because this trip consisted of two nights of roughing it with tents in the bush not far from the road we traveled on.Click for a 461kb imageI have always had a great love of the colours in the bush and after good rains at an earlier time the area was looking lush and vibrant.Click for a 558kb imageThis catchment to the main dam near the homestead of Siam Station had memories flooding back of the times as a kid laying heshen bags at the edge of the dam to catch frogs and tadpoles.Strangely enough my siblings and myself never ev

In response to Myturn2raise’s comments, as well as the desire to ensure that this site is the best available resource for short stack strategy, I decided to walk to the library, download SNG Wizard, and take another look at the ranges for 10bb pushing in late position. Man, was I surprised! I gave hero a 10bb stack, with everyone else having more, and changed the setting from $ mode to chip equity mode, since in cash games, chip equity equals dollar equity, while SNG Wizard was originally designed for SNG’s. From there it’s simply plug in opponent ranges and see what comes out. There is however, one flaw in these calculations that I don’t like, that being the fact that there is no rake. In reality the ranges are going to be a little tighter than this given that you lose 5% of the pot when called. Anyway let’s start with SB vs. BB, 9.5bb left after posting the small: BB Call Range 28% or less: Push with any two cards 30%: Top 83% 35%: Top 61% 40%: 50% 50%:

The last article talked about adjusting your pushing ranges based on your opponents’ calling tendencies. But there are other things one must consider in forming a winning SNG strategy. As you know, in a SNG you are constantly balancing the need to increase your chipstack with the goal of surviving to the end and grabbing at least some share of the prize money. Usually the two are related, but sometimes simply surviving can be so profitable that you should turn down the chance to gain chips in order to ensure doing so. Most of these types of situations come from one of your opponents having a stack that is very short. Consider the following hand. At a four handed table, UTG has 100 chips, button has 400, you are the small blind with 3000, and BB has 3500 chips with the blinds at 200/400. If the first two players fold, you are in a spot where with normal stacks you should move in with almost any two cards. But notice the situation here. UTG is about to bust out, and button will be

My latest work in progress is of a painting I am doing of the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges, in Central Australia. The Eastern Macs are the range of mountains situated on the eastern (surprise surprise) side of Alice Springs and are less visited but prettier than the more well known Western MacDonnell Ranges. The reference picture was taken very early in the morning near Corroboree Rock and the morning sun cast strong shadows in the valleys of the mountain range, which I hope to portray realistically. I am thinking about adding some people to this painting, a small party or couple of bushwalkers, using photos of my safari party, but I'll have to see how the painting pans out first.

The native red hops in Central Flinders Ranges are always a pleasure to behold for visitors to the area.
