"Ah, they're always talking sh*t!"
Dude chuckled, "Yeah, you're right. They think they're gangsters, but they're just pranksters!"
A compact man in old dress shirt and pants, Bill Bringhurst was his name, and he was in Atlantic City to peddle programs at the Miss America Competition, with events all week-long leading to the finale on Sunday. He said it wasn't unusual for him to make $250 a night, just selling programs on commission, and he had worked Eagles and Phillies games, too, and concerts. "Beyonce wanted me to go on tour with her, so I could sell her programs."
"You're full of sh*t!"
"You don't know, man, I'm good at what I do. I'm the best!"
He said his family arrived in the "1400's," and were among the first settlers of Germantown in Philadelphia. Well, Columbus reached the Americas in 1492, and Germantown wasn't founded until 1681, but maybe the Bringhursts were kidnapped by Martians, then dumped in Pennsylvania a couple hundred years earlier. Anything is possible. By this point, I was starting to wonder if here was just some homeless guy talking out of his ass, but hot air is all too common in a city with a faux Taj Mahal, and where the last mayor lost his job for lying about being in the Green Berets during the Vietnam War. This he did to win the election, and to collect extra benefits from the Veterans Administration. As the expose heated up, Bob Levy simply disappeared for two weeks, leaving embarrassed A.C. without a mayor. It turned out this former life guard had checked himself into a mental health clinic. "The hope you deserve, the help you need. Depression. Anxiety. Bipolar Disorder. Schizophrenia."
Leaving Bringhurst, I ran into a man who had hung his jacket and khaki pants on an electric meter box outside Papa John's Pizza. "I like to mark my territory," Tony B., explained. Tony's scheme was to buy Delilah's Den, the strip bar, "for maybe $400,000. No more. They're really hurting. There are four strip bars within three blocks, and that's too many! I'll turn it into a special ed school." Tony also let out that his father had been a hitman for the Gambino, "like Carmen Campisi." Within two minutes Tony had told me all this, and given me his phone number also, then he disappeared.
I was left alone momentarily, but then a young, snub nosed girl in a pale, loose smock approached, "You have a cigarette?"
"Sorry, but I don't smoke."
"You have fifty cents?"
"Sorry, I'm broke."
"You don't have fifty cents?!" And her open mouth, green eyes and pretty snub nose beamed, fully, incredulity and disgust at my apologetic configuration, standing there in the half dark.
"Sorry, but I'm really broke," and I was really down to two pennies. I'd have loved to help her get a donut or beef jerky, but I had already spent too much that day, what with the train fare to Atlantic City, a corner store hoagie for both lunch and dinner, and cheap beer at Flanigan's, where I managed to meet a couple of locals. Had I more cash, I would have offered her (up to) $10 bucks to tell me her story, and she might say, "f*ck off," or, more likely, give me 20 minutes of her time.
Most stories can be had for free, but it still takes efforts to gather them. When asked how she managed to achieve such a great ear for dialogs, Annie Proulx said that she'd simply sit in a public place and listen, and since she was a woman of a certain age, men'd leave her alone. William T. Vollmann paid prostitutes to talk about themselves, and as they confided, he'd sometimes jerk off, to reassure them he wasn't a cop. Solanas, though, charged men 50 cents for a dirty word, "men," and six bucks for an hour of conversation.
So to hear local stories and speech, I had found my way to Flanigan's, just past the Memorial Park with its 1929 Liberty in Distress statue. The bar appeared newish, and was so denuded of quirky posters, mementos or graffiti, no history, in short, that it almost felt like a basement rec room in a suburban home. There was a sticker on the cash register, "FREEDOM ISN'T FREE," but that was it. Four draft beers were available, Bud, Rolling Rock, Yuengling and Coors Light, and they were only $2.50 a pint, so that's a good sign, as I barely had any cash on me. Kenny Roger's "The Gambler" was on the juke box, to be followed by Cat Stevens, then the Doobie Brothers, so someone was really into wise, rueful white guys reflecting on this trying life. Eight dudes perched at the bar, with two speaking Spanish. Atlantic City is 30% Hispanic, and 15% Asian, so once outside the tourist area, you'll find a fair amount of Mexican, Dominican, Bangladeshi, Chinese and Vietnamese businesses. An old pizza joint, with "WELCOME TO ITALY" on its torn awning, now serves Mexican food primarily. There's a Sidney Pho, with an image of the Sidney Opera House on its sign, but Vietnamese do that. Walk into a Viet joint, and you may be greeted with a mural of the Eiffel Tower or even Florence, Italy, so why not Sidney? Why not have a Vietnamese eatery designed as a Bavarian beer hall? I wouldn't be surprised.
Through the plate glass window, I could see a couple walking by doggy style, with the young man fondling his girlfriend's boobs from behind. They were both laughing. On television, there was a fleeting news story on "the American Taliban," which prompted a "We'll blow you up, motherf*cker!" from one of the drinkers. Hearing pool balls clacking in an adjacent room, I eventually wandered over, and there, I met two super friendly dudes, Brian and Nestor. In his mid-thirties, Brian was born in Margate, just down the road, and he has lived on the Jersey Shore his entire life. With his long hair, scraggly beard, string head band, T-shirt of sunset over groovy surf, and plaid golf shorts, Brian looked more like a beach bum than what he was, an experienced union mason. For a long time, there had been plenty of work in Atlantic City, but it became scarcer and scarcer, so three years ago, Brian had to commute each day to Philly, "At first, I'd take the train, but that meant getting up at 3:30 in the morning, so I could catch the 4:30, and once I got to Philly, I still had to take public transportation." Like in many American cities, Philly's train station is not quite downtown. "In the evening, I'd get home by 6:30, which meant I had no time for anything but to eat really fast, then sleep. You can't do that day in and day out, it just wears you out, and my line of work is very physical. Some days, I was working 53 stories up. Outside! So I drove, but that meant 25 to 30 bucks a day for gas, plus 12 bucks for tolls, plus parking! So, sh*t, man, you're talking 60 bucks a day easy. So after two years, I stopped working in Philly. I make do with what I can find here."

Five hesitations.
Cally ran down the road, her heart pounding furiously. Everything willed her to stop, from her dry throat to her hair, slapping around her face from her high ponytail. But she couldn't stop...right? What if it were all for nothing? For all she knew, there could be nothing written on the last corner. He might have gotten an earlier ride: Cally was running to somewhere where she might not even find what -who- she was looking for. He could be halfway along the country. Two hours away and she would be none the wiser. He wasn't answering his phone: the lack of reception. Or an ulterior motive...what if he didn't want to talk. He might hate her, for never realising. All this time... He might have given up hope. He might have given his all to another girl. More deserving than Cally? But...she didn't know...she couldn't have...she didn't...she did.
Cally stopped and looked behind her shoulder at the road she had sprinted down. Her shoulders heaved with deep breaths of the cold air, which stung at her bare arms and damp cheeks. It could all be a mistake. But she wouldn't know if she didn't find out. She swallowed and continued running past the houses toward the station.

3 reviews | 4.7 out of 5
I purchased my husband a table for x-mas and we have cats. Since there where no reviews on Wal-Mart site I looked it up on Amazon. It got high ratings from all who reviewed and they said if you have cats this is a must have item, so I decided to try it. I love it. It is made of a THICK vinyl and fits 8ft table perfectly. If you have a table and want a great cover this is the one for you.
The Mizerak Pool Table Cover is very durable and looks great. I thought it was going to be more of a snug fit on my 8' pool table, but it covers it well and is easy to put on and take off, so no complaints really. I'd buy this cover over the cheaper booger green one for its quality and visual appeal.
I purchased this product for my husband. He has an 8 foot table and this was a perfect fit. Looks wonderful on the table.

text: I'm new to here, but for any of you who are about to read all of this, i applaud you! I recieved my new Lenovo Z570 IdeaPad yesterday...I'll just put some of the spec down incase you want to know. Proccessor: Intel i5 (second gen) Graphics: NVIDIA GEFORCE OS: Windows 7 64bit yadayadayada... Anyway, after charging it up and turning it on, i started to install programmes and other bits and bobs. e.g iTuens, Flash Player. Just the usual essentials. I used the laptop to watch videos on Youtube, genenral browing such as Facebook, so in short, the internet was working fine. Just before i went to bed that night I installed AVG Security (free version) and ran a full scan. When the scan finished, i put the Laptop into Hibernate, and went to sleep! Happy in the knowledge my new gizmo was running smoothly! Just before i woke up i heard the Laptop turn off as it had run out of charge. So i plugged it in and charged it up, then turned it on. This is where the problem starts... I connected via wifi however the logo at the bottom right of the screen showed the signal strength meter on empty, with a yellow star covering it. I clicked the icon, and it said, 'Not connected, connections are available' and below shows im connected with 5/5 signal strength, but on 'Limited access'. I troubleshooted the problem, and the problems found were: 1) there might be a problem with the Driver for the Local Area Connection adapter 2)There might be a problem with the driver for the wireless Network Connection Adapter There are 28 updates, but im unable to update them as i have no internet connection. I also cant connect via the ethernet cable. I cant roll back the drivers as there are no previously installed ones, and i cant update them as i am already up to date. My other laptop (Acer Aspire 5630 running on Vista) works perfectly fine using Wifi and the ethernet cable, so i honestly dont know whats wrong. After reading things on my Acer about ways to fix the problem i came to the decision to restore the laptop to the time of my first installation which was Adobe flash player (which i installed the day before.) I was unable to do a full factory reset as the only options available are to either restore to a backup, or re-install windows (which requires a disc, which i dont have). I also didnt configure a backup as i had only had the laptop a day! I phoned up my internet provider and ran through everything, and all is fine at their end, so the only thing that it can be is the laptop. There you have it, I'm still baffled how it can work one day and not the next... It's 2 days old! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated Thanks.

|This is a discussion on Depositing to Pokerstars using Skrill from Indonesia? within the online poker forums, in the Poker Deposits & Withdrawals section; I tried asking Skrill/Moneybookers themselves, and their reply is unbelievably slow and at this rate I'm going to miss all the fun of the 100
Depositing to Pokerstars using Skrill from Indonesia?
I tried asking Skrill/Moneybookers themselves, and their reply is unbelievably slow and at this rate I'm going to miss all the fun of the 100 billionth hand festivities, hopefully this community can help me... ^^
I tried depositing to Pokerstars before using a local debit mastercard, it was rejected, same like when I tried it from Singapore... But back then, it was fine when I do it through Skrill, but now, when I tried to pay using the same local debit mastercard, Skrill blocked the transaction saying that due to my country jurisdiction, it cannot allow me to pay a gaming website using Indonesian card.
The question is: If I deposit first to my Skrill account, using either bank transfer or credit card, and then use the money I deposited at skrill to fund my pokerstars account, will they still block the transaction?
Please note that I listed my location in Skrill as Indonesia.
Additional Question: Does anyone know the bank charges incurred for doing bank transfer to UK Bank of America, currency: Euro (Skrill/Moneybookers bank account). Because transferring from my local bank in Indonesia, if I transfer and wish for the recipient to receive full amount the banking fee will be 30 euro, which is a lot if I only want to deposit around 100-200 USD. Therefore, I want to know if I send the money as it is, and have the receiving bank to deduct the banking charges there, how much will it cost?
I have emailed US Bank of America, and they replied me that the fee if transfer is direct is 16 USD. still a lot, but certainly better than 30 euro.
On another note, if anyone can suggest me a depositing method to pokerstars that's cheaper and easier, please do! Thanks!
Hey there,
I'm a pokerstars player based in Indonesia.
I've never tried funding Skrill account with credit/ debit cards but bank transfer will do. If you want to deposit $100-$200 with bank transfer, I suggest that you avoid paying EUR 30 for full amount, the transaction will deduct prolly $10-$15 if I'm not mistaken. But why do you use Skrill to fund your pokerstars?
I'm using Entropay (Virtual Visa Card), they only charge you 4.95% to fund your virtual cards, so depositing $100-$200 will only cost you $4.95- $9.90. And the best thing about this is you can make fast deposit right into your Pokerstars account.
Skrill will not blocked any incoming or outgoing transaction if you are approved. Have you verified your address, Indonesian bank account, etc?
Yea bank transfer fees are horrible so I've just been sticking with the check payout option on Skrill, works pretty good.. I've only used prepaid Visa card to deposit on to poker site before then cashout whatever I need into my Skrill account to fund other poker sites.
So basically what I am saying is...Try making a straight deposit by credit card on to a poker site, you can try a few different ones till you get one that works, then cashout whatever you need into Moneybookers for use at a different site. (Caution: make sure there are no play-through requirements on your deposit and that it's available for immediate cashout).
Hi guys, thanks for the reply!
And yaaayyy!! an Indonesian player!!
The reason I used skrill was because I have already used it twice back when I was living in Singapore, it was hassle-free back then. Right now it has been downright nightmare though, not only it has been troubling me quite a bit, their support is also unbelievably awful. Slow, and doesn't answer the questions. The only time they actually answer me swiftly was when I asked them to track my bank transfer, they answered, which basically consists of, "it's only been a day, chill and wait, f*ckface!"
Anyway, now I just need to verify my post address, but I have been waiting for the mail from them to arrive for a week now! I'm so pissed because due to all this hassle I actually missed out taking my chance on the 100 billionth hand milestone, if I have to miss out on the golden SnG as well.... aaagghh!
I think I'm gonna follow your advice for using entropay next, can they take withdrawal as well??
OOT: One of the main reason for me joining cardschat is to find fellow Indonesian player, do you have friends to play home games with? Can we somehow stay in touch? I'm just interested to have a real-life poker friends. Thanks.
re: Poker & Depositing to Pokerstars using Skrill from Indonesia?
Long story short, it came after 3 months and now I can make withdrawals no problem so you just have to be patient.
It took around 6 weeks to receive the letter from skrill. I can't agree more that the customer service is super slow.
I don't think entropay enables withdrawal. What you have to do is wait for skrill letter to arrive and get verified, that way the withdrawal will be no hassle. I receive my money in just 2 working days via bank transfer.
I'm indo player also. At the moment playing NL20 on various sites/networks.
About depositing options, I prefer skrill because they are fast, cheap, and reliable. I think they are the best for poker.
I'm in hurry right now, and will discuss it later if you still following this thread. Just reply to let me know.
Nice to meet fellow indonesians here.
re: Poker & Depositing to Pokerstars using Skrill from Indonesia?
Need assistance from you, ASAP.
email : firstname.lastname@example.com, skype id : masdi.goei
Thank you very much
The procedure is very easy.
There are actually two ways I know but for simplicity sake, let's just use one that will ALWAYS work.
1. Set up your account with moneybookers (skrill). It's really easy to set one.
2. Verify your account :
a. Verify credit card ( if you have one, this is great since you can increase transaction limit )
b. Verify your bank account by depositing, at least $5 if I'm not wrong, to skrill using YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. But since you are going to use this, I suggest you deposit whatever amount you intend to deposit initially (say $300).. Relax, your account should be uploaded within 2-3 days.
c. Verify your address ( you will get a letter to your mailbox within 3-6 weeks. tips: send it to address that's easy to find by postal office in Indo. It's bad here, real bad!)
Once you've done all that, just click on "cashier button" at pokerstars and upload funds and you're done.

Two years AgoMature
Ali was wearing a really nice dress. I was sitting on the bed, jealous of her. Even though we looked exactly the same I always felt like she had a better body.
"Ali, can't you just please tell me where the hell you're going?" I whined. She shook her head. Her cheeks went red and her green eyes bored into mine.
"I can't say- because you would just try to stop me. And mum already told me not to tell you."
I was aghast. This carefree Ali was different to the Ali I knew. The Ali I knew was a serious, always-thinks-of-others-and-how-they-feel type. This was not Ali. Before she poked herself in the eye with the mascara wand, I decided to stop her.
"Where have you put my twin and what have you done with her. If you freaking probed her I will stab you in the eye…. Something that mascara wand is already trying to do."
Ali laughed.
"I'm serious! Are you an alien? Why have you captured my sister?" I demanded. Ali laughed again and fluffed up her hair in the mirror. I rolled my eyes.
"It's just a party! Ok!?" Ali laughed in my face and then stuck her tongue out at me. In her tight white dress, she kind of looked like that group of girls in our year that dressed and acted like a word that I did not want to say or even think. But Ali looked better than them. She rummaged in my drawer for something and I watched as she pulled out this black choker. It had a small charm off the end of it and it went in place with her skin colour.
In fifteen minutes of watching her, she had made her eyes do that smoky eyes thing that everyone was obsessed over. I had no idea how to use half the stuff, but Ali obviously did. She had red lipstick on and her hair was parted on the very side. It was wavy and hair sprayed into place so it looked a little messy. She looked at me and gave me a huge smile. I didn't return it.
There was a knock at the door. I looked appraisingly at Ali and she looked excitedly at me.
"Can I borrow your black heels?" She asked me. I burst out laughing.
"Ali! They were your heels. You know for a fact that I don't wear high heels. They are inventions of the devil and are stupid." I told her. She grinned.
"Just because you can't walk in them…." She mumbled. I laughed. She was right about that. I left her to her grooming and went to answer the door.
There at the door was the group of girls I was talking out. They looked over at me and introduced themselves.
"I'm Carrie, hi Ariela." The leader said. She was dressed in the shortest dress I had ever seen and had these aviators glasses on which made her look way older than she was. Even without the glasses, she still looked older than me. The other girls, Iris, Cleo, Bianca and…..an empty spot…. were all in horridly short dresses. One of them had a leather jacket on was tall and looked Egyptian. The one called Carrie smiled at me. "Why don't you join us?" She asked me. I shook my head.
"I can't. But take care of Aleira, will you?" They all nodded seriously.
"I'm here!" Ali yelled as she hobbled down the stairs in her black heels. They all gasped and complimented every inch of her. I snorted when one of them complimented on her black choker. That was mine. "Hey, Ariela, join us! Please. I will love you." Ali slurred. I rolled my eyes. She was acting drunk and weird. I knew she wasn't. She wanted to fit in way too much.
"See you, Ali, have fun, you guys." I watched them leave in the dark of the night and listened as Iris slung her arm around my twin's shoulders.
"Why does she act like your mother?" Iris wanted to know. Ali turned to look at me, not knowing that I could hear every word.
"Because that's what she thinks she is." She scoffs. The rest of them guffawed and I slammed the door shut. I went into mum's office and asked her if she knew where Ali was going. She told me it was at Bianca's house. I went upstairs.
I found the shortest shorts that Ali owned and a midriff top. I was angry at Ali, and I wanted to get her back. I didn't just want to get her back- I was determined. And I wasn't going to stop until she got hurt. I looked at Ali's array of makeup and was stunned. I had absolutely no idea. I looked at the thing called eyeliner and knew that it was used to line eyes. I hesitated before putting it on in a perfectly straight line. I was surprised. Even Ali couldn't do it that good. I chose a different colour for the smoky eye and surprisingly did it well. I was a freaking natural. I straightened my hair and let my side fringe fall into my face. I didn't like it. I pulled the fringe part back and created a small pouf. I smiled at my reflection and chose my ripped vans to go with it. They were my trusty item. They used to be fluoro pink, but now they were more on the side of fluoro pink with black and brown and other dusty things all over it.
I Googled directions to this Bianca's house and walked there within 10 minutes. There was music on full blast and as I walked through the door, everyone stopped and stared at me. I was nervous. I hated attention, but as soon as everyone in my year was looking at me, I kind of liked it. I paced into the middle and the music stopped all of a sudden. My heart thudded against my chest and I looked at everyone, adopting that air that some people had when they look down at people.
"Does anyone know where I can find Ali?" I asked in a loud and clear voice. Some people lifted their shaking hands and pointed towards the pool. There was barely anyone out there, but I spotted two figures. I saw their hands touching and I stormed out into the cool night. I watched as the guy I liked hugged Ali as she acted like she was cold. I knew she was lying because she never got cold. I huffed and puffed and turned back into the house. The party was in full ball again and I saw the person that Ali liked. That person- William- was dancing with almost everyone.
I decided to join in. Honestly, I had no idea how to dance and I had no idea what I was doing, what dance moves were 'cool' and which weren't. But I joined in and started dancing with this William guy. I saw Ali come in and that's when I did it. I pulled this William guy in and kissed him. I watched Ali and saw the look on her face when she realised it was me. The William guy pulled away and put his hands around my waist.
"Which twin are you?" He asked breathlessly.
"Ariel," I replied with a smile, "the twin that likes to have fun."
"I can roll with that." He smiled back at me.
It was super uncomfortable but I went along with it. Ali looked like she had tears in her eyes and I felt bad- for a moment- then I put my arms around William and continued dancing.
"Ari, where'd Ali go?" Carrie asked me at some point in the night. I shrugged and she turned to go but I grabbed her wrist and told her to stay. She smiled mischievously and joined in. Soon enough we were a little circle of dancing people and I learnt more about the girls who I thought were airheads than I ever thought I would know.
At three minutes past midnight I watched Ali hug Iris and then grabbed her clutch and jacket. She stormed straight through the open door. I knew she had left for good. I told William that I had to go. He grabbed his own jacket and offered me a ride home. I accepted, knowing that the night had become very cool.
When I arrived home, the light was on in my room. William said goodbye and that he would see tomorrow at school. I hugged him politely and watched him leave. I was singing some of the songs that we danced to under my breath as I walked up the staircase. I didn't bother saying hello to my mother; she wouldn't have said anything back. I closed the door behind me and smiled. Ali was lying on my bed with a magazine. She acted like she didn't see me. I lay next to her and squinted at the magazine. It was an old copy of Dolly. She sighed and closed it when she knew that I was still reading it. She went and turned the light off, hopped into her bed and pulled the covers up over her head.
I turned the light back on and sat on the end of her bed.
"Talk to me Ali." I ordered. She didn't respond. "Ali, I know you can hear me, so talk to me, it won't kill you."
"You knew I liked him!" She yelled at me and she sat up quicker than I anticipated. Ali's eyes had woven a pattern of tears over her face, with makeup everywhere and her hair, which was in perfect place only a few hours ago were madly out of place. My jaw dropped. It wasn't like her to forget what she did.
"I saw you with Beau."
"Who the hell is Beau?" She asked me. I shook my head, disgusted with her. She brought a hand to her eyes and started laughing. "You mean the guy who hugged me? Dude was he drunk-
"There was no alcohol there Ali! It was year 9 and 10's only. None of them were even old enough to buy alcohol let alone be stupid enough to drink it. Don't lie. You knew how I felt about him." Ali was the one to shake her head now.
"Ok, we kissed. But, I swear to you, I did not do it because I knew you liked him. He was just being really nice to me, and after Bianca was a bitch to me, I went and sat by the pool and he came, sat next to me, thought I was cold, gave me a hug, we talked and then kissed, went in, feeling better and then I saw you kissing the guy I actually did like."
I crossed my arms and sniffed. I didn't feel any sympathy.
"Yeah, well now you know what it's like for someone to kiss the guy you like. William was being really nice to me. Sure he's a bit stuck up, but he was really nice."
"Why do you think I like him?" She snapped. I held up my arms in surrender to make her think she had won and that I was sorry. Obviously, though, Ali wasn't finished. "But honestly, you can have him now because he obviously only like's girls who dress like skanks."
Ali's eyes narrowed as she spat that comment out at me and I didn't say anything. She lay back in her bed and told me to turn the effing lights off. I had never heard her use that language before. I thought about what she had said and bit my lip. Sure I was angry and I wanted so much to forgive her but I didn't want to be like every other book character and forgive and forget and be friends straight away. It was like my friendship with this girl named Maria. I had never even seen a Maria before and I wanted to be friends with her. We became friends and we always fought- really bad fights- but we always made up and were best friends again.
But just a year ago, I had a friend who went behind my back and said stuff about me. She called me names and thought it wouldn't come back to her. Her name was Jasmine. I chose, instead of forgiving and forgetting like I did with Maria, to ignore her and pretend like she didn't exist.
Maria came up to me one day during Science and asked me what was wrong. We weren't as close friends anymore sadly. She said she could read me like a book and she knew when I was sad. I missed my friendship with her so badly and I wanted to tell her everything but I couldn't. I said nothing.
It was a Morton's Fork. Two equally as bad decisions, but I had had experience in both sides. Though neither of those experiences had been about my own, flesh and blood sister who I lived with every day; eating breakfast, eating dinner… There wasn't much I didn't do without her.
Decision one was not to forgive her and the other decision was to forgive her and go about life forgetting. There wasn't an easy decision. I was still sitting on her bed and she kicked me until I decided to get off it. Ali swore at me a few times.
I got into my own bed. I heard an old song in my mind- Dust in the Wind by Kansas. It played through my mind. I closed my eyes and started humming it under my breath. I felt my brain strain to be awake. I started singing it quietly. I realised that I still had not changed out of the shorts and mid-riff top that I was wearing. At least I took off my shoes, but honestly I didn't care. I almost fell into a deep slumber but I stopped myself until I had finished the song.
Then I let the blackness take over. I could hear the song in my mind still.
Then suddenly, I couldn't hear anything at all.

I then began to cry - tears of joy! It was so nice to have him here right in front of me to hug and to hold. We made the long journey back home and went to bed shortly after we arrived home.

blinking depend on time constant which is tau = RC. try making tau greater than 1 second. you would be able to see the LED blink. Use 220 uF capacitor and a 100ohms resistor if you want to see the LED blink.
Remove the buzzer and check if LED id glowing, if not try using lower capacitance value. 0.047uF worked for meView Instructable »

One slip on for de Kock, who will face the first ball. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the first over
"The question is have you done your warm up excercises Mr commentator. We need you to tickle that keyboard at pace. No cramping please :-)" John, enough fluids taken, and not of the dehydrating variety. I am ready. As are both the teams. Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock walk out
PietSkiet: "Was not nervous at all, cause I gave SA no chance, but with winning the toss the nerves are settling in nicely. Will we see a Miller special today?"
6.55pm Both the squads, the match referee Ranjan Madugalle, the umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Ian Gould, and the third umpire Bruce Oxenford, are out for the national anthems. How are the nerves doing?
6.50pm Ten minutes to the start of the big one. Fairly settled XIs. It would have been a difficult choice at the toss because you want to bat first on the tired pitches, but there is some weather about. However, both the sides were happy batting first
South Africa have won the toss and have decided to bat first. They are unchanged except for du Plessis coming in for Behardein. "It's just another game for us," says du Plessis of the semi-final hoodoo. India would have batted too. They are unchanged, which means Rahane and Mohit play ahead of Dhawan and Shami
Time for the toss. Faf du Plessis is back as South Africa captain. MS Dhoni looks calm. "It has been quite boring," he says, "without cricket over the last four days."
6.15pm Fifteen minutes to go to the toss. Weather is still good. Questions to ponder for the two captains: Dhawan v Rahane and Mohit v Shami; and Phangiso v Hendricks
6pm Everybody is, understandably, talking about the hail stones in the semi-final yesterday, and everybody is worried about today's game, but momentarily at least I am glad to report that nothing is coming down from the sky. this is Sidharth Monga, welcoming you all to the live coverage of the second semi-final of this World Twenty20. It is a classic duel between a side that has been efficient and streamrolling opponents, and one that has been mercurial and has scrapped and scraped through. Only the roles have reversed. India have been the dominant side, South Africa have been doing the scrapping
Kumar to de Kock, 2 runs, length ball, pitches outside leg, flicked away to the right of deep fine leg for a couple
Kumar to de Kock, 1 wide, no swing, and it starts wide outside leg again. A slightly nervous start or lack of swing?
Kumar to de Kock, 2 leg byes, this one swings the other way, down the leg side, de Kock misses, but gets two leg-byes
Kumar to de Kock, FOUR, lucky four runs. This is short, angling away, he has the room to go after it, but not enough. Gets the bottom edge, past the diving Dhoni. Slightly nervous from both the batsman and the bowler
Kumar to de Kock, OUT, oh he has given this. is it nervous from the umpire too or a great decision? De Kock is not happy with the call. He goes for a big drive to a length ball outside off, the fielders go up immediately for the inside edge, Ian Gould raises his finger after thinking about it. De Kock is not thrilled about the decision. Replays show there is a sound as it passes the bat, so the umpire has got it right
Q de Kock c †Dhoni b Kumar 6 (3m 4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 150.00
In comes Faf du Plessis
Kumar to du Plessis, no run, good first ball for du Plessis. Pitches on a length, just outside off, swings back in towards off. Defended off the front foot

Dhoni stands back for Mohit Sharma
MM Sharma to Amla, FOUR, that's Amla showing his inner Dilshan. Stands tall, clears the front leg, and smashes this short ball through cover. Meets it on the top of the bounce
Slip moves out to short cover
MM Sharma to Amla, 2 runs, slower ball from Sharma, but Amla moves across to open up the leg side, and takes a couple fine of fine leg
MM Sharma to Amla, FOUR, these are some lucky runs. Amla shows Shamra that he is moving away, but stays his ground when the ball is delivered. Sharma stays straight, but can't do anything about the outside edge that goes wide of Dhoni
MM Sharma to Amla, 1 run, moves across this time, is beaten, but gets a leg-bye

Kumar to Amla, 1 run, short of a length, outside off, pushed wide of mid-off for one
Kumar to du Plessis, no run, lovely punch from du Plessis but he can't beat extra cover with that

Bert: "Rumour is Amla is batting with a picture of Haroen Loorgat inside his helmut - this true?"
First change. Here is R Ashwin. Round the wicket
Ashwin to Amla, 1 wide, and he starts with a wide down leg
Ashwin to Amla, OUT, what a superb delivery from Ashwin. He bowls the carrom ball that pitches well outside leg, Amla plays for it, but the ball has turned more than he expects, and has pegged back the off stump. Will this be the moment people will talk about for years?
HM Amla b Ashwin 22 (24m 16b 4x4 0x6) SR: 137.50
JP Duminy comes in ahead of AB de Villiers. I think they want him to play the destructive part in the final overs, but will South Africa be in a position to do so? Dhoni going on the offensive here. Slip and leg gully. Bowling over the wicket
Ashwin to Duminy, no run, flighted outside off, defended off the front foot

Ashwin to Duminy, no run, flighted outside leg, Duminy tries the sweep, but is beaten

- F du Plessis 12 (11b 1x4)
- R Ashwin 1-0-1-1

Ravindra Jadeja now. Already three swings in this match. Will South Africa get bogged down?
Jadeja to du Plessis, 1 run, flighted on off, driven down the ground for one
Jadeja to Duminy, 1 run, Duminy uses his feet, gets right to the pitch of the ball, drives this to long-on for one
Jadeja to du Plessis, 1 run, down the wicket again, pushes this to long-on for one
Jadeja to Duminy, no run, appeal for lbw as he is beaten on the sweep, but this has hit outside the line. Jadeja has run into du Plessis while appealing, and Gould asks him to watch it
Jadeja to Duminy, no run, down the wicket but can't beat midwicket
Jadeja to Duminy, no run, another sweep, another lbw appeal. This one is closer but Gould says no. Turning too much? Hit him outside the line?

- JP Duminy 1 (9b)
- F du Plessis 14 (13b 1x4)

Sinbad: "Preserving your best bowlers for AB?"
Jadeja to du Plessis, 1 run, du Plessis is down the wicket again, pushes this flat delivery into the leg side for one

Raina to du Plessis, no run, short of a length, down the wicket, but can't bat midwicket
Raina to du Plessis, FOUR, slightly short of a length, he goes back to go over the man at midwicket. Rohit comes around from square leg, slides, gets behind it, but it slides. Just doesn't get it clean. And it goes for four. Kohli, who has run in from long-on, is livid. He kicks the ball away
Raina to du Plessis, 1 run, Faf makes room, shows him all three stumps, the ball turns back in, takes the inside edge. Single taken
Raina to Duminy, 1 run, short of a length, into the pads, whipped away for one
Raina to du Plessis, 1 run, makes room to go over extra but the ball is gripping. Turns back more than expected, and goes to long-on off the inside edge
Raina to Duminy, 1 run, short of a length, on off, pushed to long-off for one
End of over 10 (8 runs) South Africa 66/2 (RR: 6.60)

"Strange are the ways of MSD. Wasn't it time to attack with Mishra and Ashwin on either side after the fall of Amla?" Srini, he is keeping them for the big overs in the end, but I agree with you
Speaking of him, here is Amit Mishra. The original decision had been to bowl Jadeja, but Dhoni eventually calls for Mishra
Mishra to Duminy, 1 run, slow sweep first ball, but Dhoni has a fielder for it at deep midwicket. Just the single
Sid: "That expression from Kohli was akin to Cristiano Ronaldo, when his team mates do not pass him the ball and go for goal themselves. Kohli probably wanted to put in the dive too!"
One slip in
Mishra to du Plessis, no run, Faf jumps away from the stumps to go over extra, but the ball dips and drifts and then turns away too far past the edge
Mishra to du Plessis, 1 no ball, Faf down the wicket, this is a big no-ball, played back to Mishra, and Faf dives back into the crease
Free hit coming up
Mishra to du Plessis, FOUR, lovely shot. He is down the wicket early, reaches the pitch of a quickish delivery, and chips it over extra cover. On a knee too
Mishra to du Plessis, no run, big turn. Slower and higher this time, pitches outside leg. The turn cramps Faf, who is already down the wicket, and has to play a defensive shot lest he miss and get stumped
Mishra to du Plessis, 1 run, short of a length, on the pads, worked away for one to leg
Mishra to Duminy, 1 run, full and fast, too full for Duminy to try the slog sweep. Drives this to long-on for one
End of over 11 (8 runs) South Africa 74/2 (RR: 6.72)

- F du Plessis 30 (29b 3x4)

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back. No, it is Raina again
Raina to Duminy, 1 bye, turn and bounce as he tries to pull. Beaten. As is Dhoni. Takes a bye
Raina to du Plessis, 2 runs, stays back to pull a shortish ball wide of long-on for two. Kohli slips as he fields
Raina to du Plessis, FOUR, presses forward, gets under a length ball, and sweeps it over square leg for four
Raina to du Plessis, 2 runs, down the wicket this time, is beaten a bit in the air, but he manages the turn well, and places this wide of deep square for two
Raina to du Plessis, SIX, one-handed six off a spinner. Incredible. He tries the sweep, not to the reach of it outside off, the bottom hand comes off as he sweeps, but it still miraculously carries over square leg
Raina to du Plessis, 1 run, down the wicket to push this to long-on for one
One over too many from a part-timer? Story of Dhoni's life as captain?
End of over 12 (16 runs) South Africa 90/2 (RR: 7.50)

- JP Duminy 10 (19b)
- SK Raina 3-0-29-0
- A Mishra 1-0-8-0
Mishra to du Plessis, FOUR, another incredible shot. Skipper Faf is getting into this here. He jumps away from the stumps to open the off side again, and he is all but beaten by the excessive turn. He still goes ahead with it, away from the body, and somehow manages to lob it over point for four. Fifty for the partnership
Mishra to du Plessis, 1 run, driven to long-off to bring up the fifty for Faf. Cometh the hour, cometh the captain?
Mishra to Duminy, SIX, oh a fullie. Duminy will slog-sweep this for hours on end. Sends it way over deep midwicket
I don't see any towels. Did that last bowl slip out of Mishra's hand?
Mishra to Duminy, 1 run, wrong'un, too short, and punched to deep midwicket for one
Du Plessis is struggling with his fitness a little. A slip is still in
Mishra to du Plessis, 1 run, too short, pulled wide of long-on, but Kohli does well there to keep them down to one
Mishra to Duminy, FOUR, too full, outside leg, tries the wrong'un but half-volleys don't turn. Duminy sweeps it, sweeps it square and along the ground. Beats the fielder to his left
End of over 13 (17 runs) South Africa 107/2 (RR: 8.23)

Ashwin is back. Can he pull South Africa back again?
Ashwin to du Plessis, no run, appeal for a catch down the leg side, but this is only to make sure it is not a wide. And the ball has hit the thigh pad. So Dhoni and Dharmasena do well here
Ashwin to du Plessis, SIX, first really poor delivery from Ahswin. Too shirt, pitches outside leg, and Faf pulls it over wide long-on for six. They knock the gloves after the hit. He is using the depth of the crease superbly
Ashwin to du Plessis, 1 run, swept away off a length, gets a single
Still a slip in for Duminy
Ashwin to Duminy, 1 run, tries to sweep this from leg, gets a leg-bye
Ashwin to du Plessis, OUT, Faf is bowled. Ashwin has done it again, but this is a strange dismissal, something we are quite used to seeing in T20s. Faf jumps away again to make room, Ashwin bowls a carrom ball that pitches well outside leg. Faf tries to go over the leg side, but misses, and it has gone off his body to tickle the off bail off
F du Plessis b Ashwin 58 (53m 41b 5x4 2x6) SR: 141.46
AB de Villiers is the new man in
Ashwin to de Villiers, 1 run, short of a length, wide, cut away to deep point for one
End of over 14 (9 runs) South Africa 116/3 (RR: 8.28)
- AB de Villiers 1 (1b)
- JP Duminy 22 (23b 1x4 1x6)
- R Ashwin 2-0-10-2

Mishra to continue. Still a slip in
Mishra to de Villiers, 2 runs, flighted on off, driven towards extra cover, Yuvraj misfields, allows two runs
Mishra to de Villiers, no run, another drive to extra cover, but this time Yuvraj fields well
Mishra to de Villiers, 2 runs, slightly short of a length, quick too, AB is clearly beaten by the trajectory, but he gets enough bat on it to chip it over Mishra's head
Mishra to de Villiers, FOUR, what a shot. AB tells Dhoni you need more fielders. You need a field for a left-hand and a right-hand batsman. He has taken this full ball from a foot outside leg, and has reverse-swept it past slip for four
Slip comes out
Mishra to de Villiers, 1 run, driven to deep cover for one
Mishra to Duminy, 2 runs, wrong'un, on a length, outside leg, bunted away with soft hands, between long-on and deep midwicket. Comes back for two
End of over 15 (11 runs) South Africa 127/3 (RR: 8.46)

Ashwin to de Villiers, 1 leg bye, AB looks to sweep a wide ball outside leg fine, but gets only a faint tickle to short fine
Ashwin to Duminy, 1 run, driven to long-off for one
Ashwin to de Villiers, OUT, three Ashwin overs, three huge wickets. Is he turning this match for India? This, for a change, is a long hop outside leg. A blindfolded AB can hit these for sixes, but this time he gets a top edge and is caught at long leg
AB de Villiers c RG Sharma b Ashwin 10 (7m 8b 1x4 0x6) SR: 125.00
David Miller makes it two left-hand batsmen in the middle

Ashwin to Duminy, no run, pushed to extra cover
Ashwin to Duminy, 1 run, short of a length, takes it from off, gets a single to deep midwicket
Excellent over from Ashwin

- R Ashwin 3-0-12-3
Ashwin to bowl out? He has got three already. Will he get another wicket? A slip is still in
Ashwin to Miller, 1 run, on a length, offbreak, pushed through cover for one
Slip comes out
Ashwin to Duminy, no run, big shout for lbw as he is beaten on the sweep, but this has hit him on top of the pad. No lbw here
Ashwin to Duminy, SIX, jumps at him, right to its pitch, swings through smoothly, and clears long-on easily. Beautiful old-fashioned shot
Ashwin to Duminy, 1 run, tries the sweep from outside off, gets a bottom edge through Dhoni's legs
Ashwin to Miller, 1 run, gets a single to leg
Ashwin to Duminy, 1 run, Ashwin's first wicketless over comes to an end. Worked away off the pads to deep midwicket
End of over 18 (10 runs) South Africa 146/4 (RR: 8.11)
- JP Duminy 37 (35b 1x4 2x6)
- DA Miller 5 (5b)
- R Ashwin 4-0-22-3
- SK Raina 4-0-35-0
Two overs to go. Two big overs for this match. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the 19th
Kumar to Duminy, no run, low full toss, pretty straight, hit back at him. Valuable dot
Kumar to Duminy, no run, tries the cute ramp over fine leg to a length ball, but is beaten. Two dots, and pressure will be on Duminy now
Kumar to Duminy, SIX, that's a monster hit from Duminy. Stands strong, in the crease, gets under a length ball, and swings it clear over square leg. Don't bowl length at the death. Someone in the crowd seems to be hit
Kumar to Duminy, 1 run, slower ball, Duminy adjusts late, opens the face, gets a single to short third
Kumar to Miller, FOUR, what a shot. Top shot this. Low full toss, nearly a yorker, he can't get under it, but he drives this hard and beats the diving extra cover by inches
Kumar to Miller, 1 run, well bowled to finish the over. A perfect yorker. He has dug this out to leg, and scampers through for one. Was out if Bhuvneshwar had hit the non-striker's end
End of over 19 (12 runs) South Africa 158/4 (RR: 8.31)
- DA Miller 10 (7b 1x4)
- JP Duminy 44 (39b 1x4 3x6)
- B Kumar 4-0-33-1
- R Ashwin 4-0-22-3
Last over coming up. Who will bowl it? Jadeja? Mishra? Both turn the ball back in to left-hand batsmen. It's Mohit to bowl the last over. Fine leg and third man are up
MM Sharma to Miller, 1 run, lucky to get away with a length ball. That was in the slot to hit a six. Doesn't get a good hit. Takes a single to long-on
Round the wicket
MM Sharma to Duminy, 1 run, wide yorker, squirted out for a single. Good start to the over for India
MM Sharma to Miller, SIX, misses the yorker by inches, and Mohit makes him pay for it. Gets under this low full toss, lofted straight of mid-off for a flat six. Top shot
Round the wicket now
MM Sharma to Miller, no run, good wide yorker. Just inside those tram lines. Beats the inside edge as he tries to squirt it past short third
MM Sharma to Miller, FOUR, tries the wide yorker, but the third man is in. Don't quite get that plan. If you are bowling wide yorkers, have third man back. Miller drives this half-volley, and goes over short third for four. South Africa have never lost after scoring more than 166
MM Sharma to Miller, 2 runs, good finish by Mohit, a yorker, middle and leg, he digs it out towards deep midwicket. He stumbles as he runs but has enough time to come back for the second
You will have to put South Africa ahead after that innings. As it is chasing has been difficult in these late stages of the tournament, and to add to it South Africa have posted a score they have never lost after posting. However, funnier things have happened. This is not past India yet. They have been the best team of the tournament so far. Let's see how they respond to having been put in a spot for the first time in this World T20. Be back soon
End of over 20 (14 runs) South Africa 172/4
- DA Miller 23 (12b 2x4 1x6)
- JP Duminy 45 (40b 1x4 3x6)
- MM Sharma 3-0-34-0
- B Kumar 4-0-33-1

How many trees to combat climate change?
15/04/2014 16:43:05 »
Paul Jen asked the Naked Scientists:
Are you aware if someone has done a back of the envelope calculation (or on a napkin if you prefer), the number of trees needed to stop the rise of Carbon Dioxide concentration? There are probably better technologies to "suck up" CO2 from the atmosphere, but, nonetheless, some of us can plant trees while waiting for these technologies to mature. Are we talking about 1 million, billion or some infeasible number of trees? I guess the calculation would have to account for the type of tree, the CO2 generated in the effort, the amount of land required and available, natural deforestation as an offset, etc. I guess the envelope or napkin has to be large.
You all are continuing to do awesome work - kudos to you all! Podcasts come and go but you have kept me listening for years now.
Thank you and warm regards,
What do you think?

Think we need to consider plankton (around 50% of all oxygen as well as binding C02 in their shells) too. It's very tricky as any animal is defined by the availability of food and what type of climate, environment, it needs to survive. In a short term scenario assuming a increased availability of nutrients and more sun from thiner ice, plankton growth may be expected. That will give us more oxygen over some period of time, balancing other consequences of declining oxygen. But as the oceans continue to warm up I don't know how the planktons will fare. My guess is that the arctic plankton will decline, leaving us with less oxygen and more C02 as their shells seems to dissolve under a warming. It may be that it will be replaced by other plankton migrating, but I do not expect this to be able to replace the ones gone, or maybe it will? It depends on ones time frame I guess. Too many unknowns to know at this time.

Ah well. Look at this
...sorry, you cannot view external links. To see them, please
As for what happens on land? Droughts and floods, none of them ideal for growing things I think.
You see I think we are in a tipping, from earths former balance to a new one. If it is so I don't expect it to really matter what we do? we won't be able to stop it anyhow, and once Earth finds a new (climate) balance it will be as hard changing as it was to produce it, all that man made CO2 we currently are living with I mean. We never noticed how hard we worked for it, did we?
but think of all the man hours it took, and industrial facilities, etc etc, to create that CO2 under approximately 250 years.
The way we're going peeling away all the political bs, hiding those in reality fighting for a status quo, of such not willing to accept the cost, and loss of power that comes with it, is toward more CO2 every year. And it won't change the closest decades at least. Also, if I would deem from human short sightedness and self interests, we should have a major war waiting for us. Because a war is perfect for stopping uncomfortable truths, you will get so occupied with surviving that nothing else will matter. And afterwards? Depends on what type of war we will meet here. What we've had since 1945 is small arms war, not nuclear. We never had a nuclear war actually. That craves two participants to exist, as I see it. Yeah I know, doesn't really matter. Just what I expect.
...sorry, you cannot view external links. To see them, please
Alternatively you can think of it in terms of small arms wars, constantly growing, as resources dwindle. From such a point of view it will be as fighting grass fires in Australia. You won't know where the next one flames up. And it will cost us all, in humanitarian terms as well as in resources and infra structure. The CO2 we made 250 years ago, up there today, should now start becoming deposited in oceans and land. But only the major part of it, depending on who you ask you will get different answers to how long CO2 stays in the atmosphere, but all agree on the 'tail' of each years production at least stays for millenniums, all as I understands it. And that tail adds constantly to the new CO2 being produced.
"Notice that the carbon dioxide lifetime is "hundreds of years", rather than a specific number. The IPCC Third Assessment Report defines a gas's lifetime as the amount of the gas in the atmosphere divided by the rate at which it is removed from the atmosphere. That sounds simple enough, except that not all gases are removed by just one (or mainly one) process. Ironically, the gas that accounts for the greatest proportion of global warming, carbon dioxide (CO2), is the hardest to pin down. When CO2 is released into the atmosphere, about three-quarters of it dissolves into the ocean over a few decades (- Acidity -). The rest is neutralized by a variety of longer-term geological processes, which can take thousands of years.
From IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: About 50% of a CO2 increase will be removed from the atmosphere within 30 years, and a further 30% will be removed within a few centuries. The remaining 20% may stay in the atmosphere for many thousands of years.
From U.S Greenhouse Gas Inventory Reports: (CO2) Atmospheric lifetime: 50-200 years. No single lifetime can be defined for CO2 because of the different rates of uptake by different removal processes.
From RealClimate: My model indicates that about 7% of carbon released today will still be in the atmosphere in 100,000 years. I calculate a mean lifetime, from the sum of all the processes, of about 30,000 years. That's a deceptive number, because it is so strongly influenced by the immense longevity of that long tail. If one is forced to simplify reality into a single number for popular discussion, several hundred years is a sensible number to choose, because it tells three-quarters of the story, and the part of the story which applies to our own lifetimes. ("How long will global warming last?")" From "Lisa Moore, Ph.D., scientist in the Climate and Air program at Environmental Defense."
Btw: this one belongs to "The Environment" I think? Especially after what I wrote

Hey there, this is Atul Bansal, a student of IIT Kharagpur from the department of Electronics and Communication Engineering(Dual degree course). Recently, I have got my department change from Mechanical engineering to this department. I am here to tell you and give all of you some tips about the same. First of all, NEVER miss any classes. Even if it's very boring and you couldn't help dozing off, you must control it somehow, and listen to your professor with full attention. This practice really helps you a lot. This will allow you to keep your workload under limit. Otherwise, there will be a lot of pressure during and just before the mid-sems and end-sems, due to which you may score poor marks in these exams which you definitely don't want if you really want to secure your department change. Secondly, you may hear something like 'It's enough if we study for just 1 or 2 weeks before the exams'. I will advice you to ignore such talk. I don't know about all of them, but some of my friends definitely paid their price doing so. They ended up having poor grades and cursing those people who told them this. There will be lot of events going out in the campus which will attract you, I am not telling not to go and participate but make sure that, you never lose your determination and concentration in doing so. In my opinion, it will be unwise to join any society, but if you really want to join them, make sure you manage your time because these societies take lots of your time and you may not get any time to study at all. So, please take care of it.
I think the main key to the department change is "TIME MANAGEMENT". If you are efficiently managing your time in doing all the activities including studies, then DepC is just a piece of cake. I hope this helps.With Regards

Turning heads is only one element of fashion, and style is fashion on a whole other level. Being on trend can be fun, but maintaining style can take a little work. When it comes to stepping out in style, here is a top 10 list worthy of taking note. From classic elements to trendy inspirations, these top brands are making waves from the runways to the streets. From denim to dresses, this is the top 10 list everyone woman needs this year...in alphabetical order:
1. Alexander Wang
2. COURAGE b
3. Fendi
4. Juicy Couture
5. Lanvin
6. Marc by Marc Jacobs
7. Michael Kors
8. Stella McCartney
9. 7 for All Mankind
It Begins and Ends in Paris
Fashion's roots are deeply woven into the landscape of the French city synonymous for style, and Paris always delivers. Some current labels beckoning Parisian influence include Courage b and Lanvin. Whether looking for a light-weight blouse perfect from spring to fall or a jacket with good lines, these brands hit the scene with flair.
A universal piece of fashion, namely the dress, embodies the quintessential Parisian stamp in floral and delicate fabrics. Lanvin's fall 2015 line features an exquisite floral brocade and is embellished with a modern elegance when paired with the label's fierce metallic neutral accessories. Connected with classic styling and colors, the metallic adds a polished, new sheen without screaming for attention.
COURAGE b has a more sophisticated line that features it's crazy popular light duster jacket to take casual Friday up to the next level. They have a range of women's designer clothing from dresses to cashmere tops that go perfect with Lanvin's major fall attraction, the leather skirt. Happy hour gets grown up in this cashmere creation. Shop their website at http://www.courageb.com
On the other hand, Lanvin offers a beautiful leather midi sure to please any conservative femme fatale- see it at http://store.lanvin.com/us/women/new-arrivals for inspiration and upcoming new looks.
Denim Never Goes Out of Style
One sure-fire choice of the fashion-forward is none other than denim. From everyday jeans to fair weather jean jackets, denim leads the way into transitional pieces that never go out of style. When thinking denim, one of the hottest brands in 2015 is 7 for All Mankind. This label has remained on the scene in recent years with their ability to become the go-to jean for the fashion darling. For an edgier denim look, check out this brand at your local retailer or online. This solid company offers trendier cuts for curvy types and models alike. ( http://www.7forallmankind.com)
Command with Color
While neutrals are always in style and a closet staple, seasonal and color trends add that extra pop necessary to make any outfit a complete ensemble. Check out Fendi for some inspiring looks. Also, be sure to stay up-to-date on the "it" colors for the season. These can be incorporated as statement accessories like scarves, purses, bracelets or even shoes. Nothing says quite as much about a lady as her shoes!
For fall, Fendi showcases strong lines with color combinations of dramatic red and black or plum paired with orange. The straight lines enhance the serious silhouettes to create a modern city look. Fendi's flavor is evident at http://www.fendi.com/us/woman/fall-winter-2015-16/pre-fall.html where this powerhouse designer can be found.
Urban Street Style
With the explosion of street style dominating the fashion scene, runways are flooded with couture designs inspired by urban settings. Alexander Wang infuses this urban feel into his pieces that produce a modern appeal with dramatic necklines. His work is mainly dominated with neutral black, enticing urban appeal in each look. Accessorizing with bold color can enhance such modern looks and make the outfit truly yours. ( http://www.alexanderwang.com)
Marc by Marc Jacobs exudes endless style through casual elegance. Simple lines and coveted navy neutrals are an ever-present backdrop at his shows. Classic shirtdresses and jumpers grab your attention with simple belts to complete the look. Bold prints in black and white also add a young vibe to classic styling. Check out http://www.marcjacobs.com/women/marc-jacobs/ready-to-wear/ to witness the merging of the feminine and edgy woman.
You're Only as Old as You Feel
Moving right along to Juicy Couture where age is just a number. Previously known for their dominance in high-end velour track sets, Juicy is blossoming into a more fashionable brand beyond the embellished tee and continuing their youthful spirit into trendy clothing for teens to thirty-somethings. Fuschia remains the flagship color identifying the label.
And last, but not least, is the youthful spirit matured into the strong modern woman with Stella McCartney. McCartney's pieces feature neutral colors blended into bold prints for a captivating effect. Dresses are also available in a plethora of shapes from simple and classic to unique and modern. Necklines range from off-the-shoulder to single strap. ( http://www.stellamccartney.com/us)
Why Are These Brands So Hot?
Perhaps one reason these brands are heating up this year is their connection to today's woman. While trends come and go, today's woman seems to be establishing herself as a woman of style instead of a leader of the "look of the day." What's in now, may never see the light of day again, so wise women are making better investments in the market and on the racks.
Take Michael Kor's longevity and incorporate Stella McCartney's attitude of edginess to shake up the perfect fashion cocktail. In today's world, the only rule of fashion is that there are no rules in fashion. White can be worn all year and is no longer limited to the warmer months and left to hibernate all winter. And what about mixing prints, you may ask. While there is definitely a knack for perfecting this, mixing prints is a definite 'do!'
Another aspect of these labels killing it on the fashion scene is the current fashion forecast. Denim is making strides like never before with the infusion of festival season and the southwest awakening. Aztec prints in muted hues add a depth that only denim can hold true to heart. A little lace and whimsy unfolds and can be seen as a top or various accessories to customize this look. And while the festival goer exhales youth, freedom, and fun this same young woman can also work it in the career world.
And this is where the other labels hit their stride. Lanvin's leather skirt is the perfect foundation for Courage b's floral cashmere sweater paired with a bootie or ballet flat depending on your department or destination. And almost all labels feature dresses in classic shapes including the figure-flattering wrap. The wrap dress is a closet staple and has been updated in so many ways through color, print and pattern choices.
Remember denim and midi skirts this year. The maxi and mini have been everywhere, but their middle sibling is making waves and rising to shore. Ms. Midi is without a doubt the most flattering and universal cut for most females. This skirt can be soft and flowing or full of texture and attitude. From leather to cotton, this skirt needs to be the new staple in every fashionista's closet.
In terms of staples, let's get back to the basics and that's denim. 7 For All Mankind believes the skinny is here to stay. And this feel-good jean cut pairs great with flats and the increasingly popular suede or leather bootie. A dark, indigo wash can add an evening vibe to any pair of skinnies, while a white-washed pair adds a casual, light-hearted spirit to a fringed top or floral tunic. And speaking of fringe, fringe is on the scene- you know what I mean? The love and feel of all things summer transitions into fall with the accessory of fringe. Elements of this can be found in the hem of shirts, details on boots and earrings, as well as embellished purses and handbags.
When the cool winds begin to blow in again, and we're all thinking of those beautiful leaves, it's time to begin thinking about the new additions to our wardrobes. When that time arrives, keep in mind this year's top 10 brands that are killing it right now.

Evan: Long Talks
Evan Brough
We were in Ada's room. The bed creaked as I shuffled backwards slightly. My back leant against the corner of the room, where the bed met the wall under the window.
Ada was sitting next to me, her head resting on my shoulder.
"Will you tell me," she said lightly. "Will you tell me what you were going to say in the music room earlier?"
"What do you mean?" I said, acting confused. "You know what I was going to say. You said it yourself, remember?"
Her head tilted up to look into my eyes.
"No." A simple statement - not harsh. "I meant," she said with a pause. "What you were actually going to say. Not what I said for you."
I looked away.
"I already said." I said in a huff. "I want you to be happy and I think the best way for that to happen is if you are reunited with your dad. You said it. You know."
"Don't lie to me Evan." She reached up and gently moved my head so that I had no option but to look at her. "Please. I know what I did was wrong," her voice wobbled slightly, but she carried on regardless. "But I'm sorry. I really am."
Tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Please Evan." She finally broke down and started to cry. "Please just tell me what you were really going to say. Please... please... please..." She faded off and stared into my eyes, searching for the answer.
"Ada." I stopped and sighed. "I don't want to tell you like this. It's not right." Blinking back the tears pricking my eyes, I continued. "Don't make me say it now, Ada."
She sat up straight and stood up.
"Fine then." Her voice had hardened, but the tears still ran freely. "I guess I'll just sleep on the couch until you tell me." Sniffing, she went to walk out.
I stood up and caught her arm. Spinning her around to face me, I finally said it.
"Ada. Ada, I love you."
With that, I leaned in to kiss her. Slowly, her arms wrapped around my neck and she kissed back.

Life's a riot with snake versus plane!
And they said Snakes On a Plane couldn't happen here! Motherfucker, it just did!
My favorite part:
Coles had left Charleston earlier for a leisurely flight over the West Virginia countryside last Saturday in his Piper Cherokee and was preparing to land in Gallipolis, Ohio, when the snake revealed itself.
"Nothing in any of the manuals ever described anything like this," the 62-year-old Cross Lanes resident said.
Okay, first of all: the snake "revealed itself." Gotta love a snake with a flair for the dramatic!
Second of all: How can it be that aircraft/snake juxtapositions aren't covered in training manuals? Have we learned NOTHING from this movie that none of us have seen yet? The next time I fly, I damn well better find that my airtoon card in the seat pocket pictorially depicts what I should do in case of snake. (If you're out there, and you've got the Photoshop skillz, gin 'em up and let's roll!)
NOTE TO S.O.A.P. PRODUCERS: Are you EFFING KIDDING me? You have got to get this guy on some sort of junket, right now! Put him on the talk shows. Invite him to the premiere. Start scripting the obvious DVD extra "Real Life Snakes On A Plane Survivors". You have still got to buzz buzz buzz your movie all through July and this dude has fallen into your lap!
(ALSO: Is it too late to CGI in some shots of a valiant dauschund, facing down the snakes with aplomb? That's a great plot add that comes right from real life. My thought is, make it Samuel Jackson's travelling companion-slash-pet. Digitally impose the doggy into the scenes, name the dauschund "Motherfucker" and rely on Jackson's tendency to say "Motherfucker" every other word to establish their bond. You just need a few quick cut-away shots to establish. ALSO: Star wipes! Star wipes rule!)
Thanks to Rob for the tip!

Memo to Bosses: Thank Employees!
Administrative Professionals Week, also known as Professional Secretaries Week, is a time to recognize support staff for their accomplishments and contributions to corporate success. Research from Texas A&M University reveals one gift of appreciation in particular that will naturally lift an employee's mood, create a lasting memory and boost productivity.
The research demonstrates that flowers and plants enhance people's ability to generate ideas and solve problems.
"Our study shows that adding flowers and plants to a work environment can be very meaningful to businesses in the modern economy," said Roger Ulrich, Ph.D., lead Texas A&M researcher. "People's productivity, innovation and creative problem solving, improved - which in certain circumstances could mean the difference between mild and great business success."
Rebecca Cole, author of Flower Power and host of Discovery Channel's Surprise by Design offers an additional perspective. "Giving flowers is a loud, proud, sophisticated way of saying 'I appreciate all you do.' They're a great way to build a strong, lasting professional relationship," said Cole.
