Well that title most definitely got your attention. This blog entry will be about breastfeeding. Well, breastfeeding in public to be more accurate.

Now everyone seems to have an opinion on that and a strong opinion too. Some people think it is a mother's right to breastfeed wherever she wants. Some people think it should be a personal and private thing. My other half thinks it is disgraceful, he says the baby's head gets right in the way of the view!! I sit on the fence, I think it should be a mother's right, within reason.

"...They did what all wise rulers must: cope not only with present troubles but also with ones likely to arise in future, and assiduously forestall them. When trouble is sensed well in advance it can easily be remedied; if you wait for it to show itself any medicine will be too late because the disease will have become incurable. As the doctors say of a wasting disease; after a time, unless it has been diagnosed and treated at the outset, it becomes easy to diagnose but difficult to cure. So it is in poker. Poker leaks can be quickly healed if they are seen well in advance (and only a prudent player has such foresight); when, for the lack of a diagnosis, they are allowed to grow in such a way that everyone can recognise them, remedies are too late."

In 2009, Tom "durrrr" Dwan was at the height of his career and announced the durrrr challenge on an online poker forum to get some action: "I'm making this heads-up challenge to the world. Anyone can accept. Four tables, minimum of $200/$400, and I'll put up $1.5 million to their $500,000. We play 50,000 hands minimum and if they end up a dollar after rake they keep the side money or whatever. So basically, if you and I played and you won a dollar, you would get my $1.5 million and if I won a dollar I would win your $500,000. So I'm giving a million dollars free if anyone thinks they can do it."
