Nobody’s Perfect

A person will push you to be the best that you can be. This basically means that they are trying to turn you into a diamond. Smooth, perfect, shiny and flawless. What they tend to forget is that we are all unique.  And because of that we can’t be the perfect stooges that they want us to be.
And if we do get to that diamond level that is required, they forget that diamonds are valuable but lifeless. Meaning that when we get to that level of perfection that is desired of us, the life that was within us would have gone. And as a result, the diamond standard has been achieved but they have the man left behind.

What Then…?

So what then, do we not push ourselves to be the best that we can be? Or do we get to that diamond standard? Well, to be honest, we are not too sure, but what we can tell you is this, just be who you are. If you can push then push, but if you can’t, do that which is in your reach.
Just remember that the diamonds that they so desire of us are also mined for. So for you to get there it would have been a dual effort. And that person who would have been pushing you has a lot of work to do as well. So maybe you could just be just a little considerate of the miner who has taken their time to look for the perfectness within you. And be the diamond that they want you to be or you could just play Diamond Dozen at Punt Casino. Your choice, but with this online slot, you have the chance of walking away with real money.

Brief History

Pai Gow poker is also known as Double Hand Poker. This is because this version of poker is played with 2 hands. The game is taken from the Pai Gow, an American tile game. But we took the tiles and changed them into cards. Or and we took the poker values as well.

Bets and Payouts

To play Pai Gow poker, you will need a minimum bet of on 1 chip or 1 credit. The maximum bet can range from 100-500 credits depending on the game of cause.
And when it comes to Pai Gow poker, all that matters is beating the dealer. Players will be paid out when that happens.  The payouts will be an even pay but with a deduction of 5% as a commission. The commission will be rounded up to a quarter of the lowest denomination.

Game Play

Players will first have to place their wagers. And when you do that you will be dealt 7 cards. Then all you have to do is to divide the hand into 2 piles, one set with 5 cards and the other with 2 cards. What you have to do is to create to separate poker hands that are both more valuable than the dealers.  Remember the poker hands that we wrote about recently, yeah you have to know those.
The hands are all the same for Pai Gow poker save for these two:

  • The Ace, 2; 3; 4; 5 straight is the second highest straight.
  • A Joker is added to the deck. The Joker will serve as a wild card that can be used to complete these winning combinations: 5 Card Flush; Straight Flush or Straight.

And that’s all there is to Pai Gow poker, enjoy!

New Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Hits Shelves This Month

The Jack Daniels Single Barrel Heritage hits stores this month. This is the newest, special edition whiskey from Jack Daniels.
The 152-year old Tennessee distillery, in recent years, has added a few new varieties to its permanent collection. This includes the Jack Daniel’s Rye, rolled out in 2017, and the Bottled-in-Bond. This makes it the only Tennessee whiskey of its kind obtaining a U.S. government quality seal. In particular, the quality seal is afforded only to whiskies:

  • produced in a single season
  • aged 4 or more years
  • bottled at 100 proof

Jack Daniels Single Barrel Heritage

The Heritage Barrel is a limited release. It’s not part of the on-going line-up. This latest offering hits stores shelves this October 2018. Jack Daniels Single Barrel Heritage celebrates the art of barrel-making or cooperage.
Jack Daniel’s is the only major whiskey company in the world that makes its own barrels. American white oak crafts the barrels.
Limited to just 200 barrels, the Heritage Barrel really is special. Master Distiller, Jeff Arnett, carefully selected them from specially made heritage barrels. Created specifically for this project, the barrels are special as well. In fact, the barrels were slowly heated during their production. This, particularly, helped achieve a richer, deeper toasted layer before being charred.
All of the colour and flavour in any whiskey comes from the barrels. This goes for the wood and level of toasting. Equally, charring is important to the final product.
The Heritage Barrel whiskey matured at a lower entry proof. Furthermore, storing the barrels in the uppermost reaches of the highest elevated barrelhouses is the next process. Eventually bottled at 100-proof, Heritage Barrel whiskey truly deserves a seal. The higher locations are warmer which accelerates maturation.
This latest whisky is a flavourful and rich whiskey with warm notes of vanilla. It also has sweet baking spices with a lingering finish of oak.
Natural hardwood charcoal filters the whisky. This consequently removes impurities and produces a cleaner final product.
Jeff Arnett comments, “We believe we’ve made a whiskey that would make our earliest coopers and Mr Jack himself proud.”
The limited-edition bottle is a traditional 750ml size. Also, it carries a suggested retail price of $65.
