BeschreibungDid you know that Rhode Island was founded by an outcast of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and that his ideal of religious freedom later became a guaranteed right of every American when the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution? Through first-person accounts, historical maps, and archival images, readers learn how the foundations of this culturally diverse colony were laid: How town meetinghouses forged strong democratic roots; about the role that slavery and smuggling played in the colony once known as Rogues' Island; and why Rhode Islanders were among the first to declare independence, yet the last to sign the Constitution. We also learn of Rhode Island's proud claim to the first Black Regiment.

Beirut: Iraqi pro-government forces on Saturday repulsed an assault by the militant group Islamic State on the city of Ramadi, capital of western Anbar province, official reports said.
Al Iraqiya, the semi-official state news outlet, quoted Brigadier General Kathem Fahdawy, the police chief in Anbar, as saying, "Security forces supported by tribal fighters repelled the largest attack of Daesh on Ramadi," referring to Islamic State by its Arabic acronym.
The Islamic State offensive, which began on Friday, was described as the militants' most ambitious effort yet to seize Ramadi, about 95 kilometres west of the capital, Baghdad. Islamic State has controlled parts of Ramadi and environs for months.
As the battle raged, the head of the Anbar provincial council, Sabah Karhout, telephoned Prime Minister Haider Abadi and the United States ambassador in Iraq asking for "urgent reinforcements" and an "intensification" of air sorties, media reported.
Meanwhile, Iraqi news outlets said pro-government members of the Albu Fahd tribe were on the offensive against Islamic State positions in Sajariya, east of Ramadi, where fierce fighting was reported.
Anbar is a largely Sunni Muslim area that stretches from west of Baghdad to the border of Syria. The province is a stronghold of Islamic State, which has declared its "caliphate" across broad sections of Iraq and neighbouring Syria.
For months, government forces have held out in central Ramadi against Islamic State attacks.
"The gunmen of Daesh are now demoralised and are going crazy due to the great losses they've taken in the province," Sheik Faisal Assafi, head of the tribal council of Anbar, said in a statement to Iraq's Sumariya news outlet.
The tribal leader also criticised what he called the role of the US-led coalition, calling it "weak and very elementary" and demonstrating a "lack of seriousness" in the fight against Islamic State. The US and its allies have been conducting air strikes for months against militant positions in Iraq and Syria.
During the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and occupation through 2011, Ramadi and nearby Fallujah were hubs of the Sunni-led insurgency against the Washington-backed central government in Baghdad. US forces finally managed to win alliances with some Sunni tribes, and put tribal fighters on the US payroll to battle al-Qaeda-linked militants.
But many Anbar residents remained hostile to the Shiite-led government in Baghdad and welcomed Islamic State, a group that claims to champion the Sunni cause. Still, the militants have not spared their Sunni adversaries.
This month, Islamic State massacred hundreds of members of the Albu Nimr tribe in Anbar province, including women and children. Images circulated on the internet depicted corpses lined up in neat rows on the pavement, blood seeping from fresh head wounds.
Elsewhere in Anbar province, Al Iraqiya reported that air strikes on Saturday killed scores of militants in the Iraqi city of Hit, 48 kilometres west of Ramadi. Islamic State fighters overran Hit in October, forcing pro-government forces to retreat.
It was unclear if the US-led coalition or the Iraqi air force was behind the reported aerial bombardment.
The Associated Press cited residents saying that several civilians, including a family of four, were killed in an air strike on Saturday in Hit.

Course Description
This hybrid history/cinema course provides an in-depth examination of Cosa nostra through a historical, social, and cultural perspective. The course will trace the progression of the Sicilian mafia from the Risorgimento to the present day, also considering the migration of this group into the United States. The fiction – stereotypes, myths and legends – surrounding the mafia will be examined through a scrupulous analysis of some of the most important American and Italian films portraying mafia culture.
An important aspect of this course will consist of discussions on important protagonists in the fight against the mafia and collaborations between Italian and US law enforcement in their efforts to defeat transatlantic organized crime. The service learning project of this course will reinforce the classroom lessons on this particular subject.
Students in the i-section of this course will read about and discuss topics related especially to the Sicilian mafia in more depth. In addition, you will read and analyze some excerpts from contemporary Italian literature (Andrea Camilleri and Leonardo Sciascia) dealing with the course topic.
Course Objectives

"Say please, say please!"
Texarkana, AR K-9 officer Randy McAdams and his partner Gus have received the honor as "Top Dog" by the United States Police Canine Association, Region 20.
The duo finished first overall during canine certification and competition in McKinney, TX. The team has placed in the top four the past four years.
Gus is a 5-year-old German Shepherd and is used in patrol and narcotics.
"Oh, it is like coaching your son in baseball and getting the Little League Championship and he hitting a grand slam home run and winning the game," McAdams said. "It is awesome because there has been hours and hours put into training."
McAdams has served as a canine handler for 13 years, the last five with the Texarkana, AR Police Department with Gus at his side. Now the two will try their skills at the national competition in South Carolina this October.

A Life That Is More Than a Life That Lasts Forever (8 of 8) by Ken Trivette
This content is part of a series.A Life That Is More Than a Life That Lasts Forever (8 of 8)
Series: The Wondrous Story
Ken D. Trivette
John 3:16
1. When we consider the wondrous story of our redemption, there is much to thrill and stir the heart of every believer.
2. ''For God'' ... It is a wondrous story to think that the God of heaven is also the God of this earth and He is deeply interested and involved in what He has created.
3. ''So Loved'' ... It is a wondrous story to think of how much God loves each of us. It is a love beyond description and imagination.
4. ''The World'' ... It is a wondrous story to realize that God created this world, but the world that is the object of His love is the people of the world.
5. ''That He Gave'' ... It is a wondrous story when one realizes that our salvation involved the Father giving His Son and the Son giving His life to purchase our redemption.
6. ''His Only Begotten Son'' ... It is a wondrous story that tells of God in three Persons, all involved in our salvation.
7. ''That Whosoever Believeth In Him'' ... It is a wondrous story that excludes no one and includes everyone and is by faith alone.
8. ''Should Not Perish'' ... It is a wondrous story that tells of how all can be saved from an eternal hell.
9. ''But Have Everlasting Life'' ... Finally we see that it is a wondrous story that brings, each person who comes to Christ, into a wonderful life. A life that those who having never been saved know nothing about.
10. The more we learn of this wondrous story the more we feel like Francis H. Rowley:
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me,
How He left His home in glory
For the cross of Calvary.
11. Today, as we look at the final words of John 3:16, we see the end result of this wondrous story. It is a life that that is more than life that last's forever.
12. R. L. Moyer says of John 3:16: ''This great text tells us two things about God and two things about man: God loved the world and g ...

Experimenting with no-knead bread
After weeks of the most magnificent autumn weather (sans rain, unfortunately), it has finally turned chilly in these parts. Last night I reinstated Friday Night Soup Night. Last night it was daughter's favourite French Onion Soup. To go with it, I experimented with no-knead bread.
I followed the recipe in Kate and Suzanne Gibbs' The Thrifty Kitchen. In turn, they based their recipe on this recipe from the New York Times.
I've made no-knead bread before, but this recipe differs by:
- it has a long rise time - this loaf was risen for 18 hours, and the recipe specifies up to 24 hours.
- you use only a 1/4 teaspoon of yeast. That's all.
- it is cooked in an ovenproof dish with a lid. I used my cast-iron Dutch oven.
- it is cooked for an hour at 240 degrees C - longer and hotter than a normal loaf.
- you don't need to knead, at all. It only requires a bit of mixing. Time requirement from cook: 10 minutes, tops.
The verdict? A big hit. The crust was just as nice as it looks here in the photo. We have a well known woodfired Sourdough bakery in our town, and their loaves sell for $6.50 each. It's the sort of place that Sydneysiders make a point of visiting on their way through. Everyone said that this loaf was better than the sourdough bakery's loaves. I agree. We were also able to eat it warm out of the oven. Yum.

ACL Live at the Moody Theater

While he's still best known to Americans for Seventies hits "If You Could Read My Mind" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot remains an acknowledged national treasure in his homeland thanks to a vivid body of work that stretches back to the early Sixties. These days, the 75-year-old troubadour re-embraces his folk roots, revisiting a formidable songbook with eloquence and charm. – Scott Schinder

Veering Off Course
The latest residential opening of City Center has officially happened, and once the Harmon Tower opens, the project known as City Center will be 100% complete.
I went over to City Center today to play about an hour's worth of cards in the Aria Poker Room, and while I was there I decided to grab a few more photos of the newly-opened condo towers.
For those who are not aware, the Veer Towers were opened to new residents on Wednesday. The condo towers are 37-stories tall, and units in the building clock in at prices anywhere from $350,000 to $2 million. Unit sizes range from 500 square feet to 3,300 square feet.
Whipping out a pocket calculator, this means that the 500sqft units are going for $350,000 which is $700 per-square-foot. To put this into some perspective, San Francisco housing averages $500/sqft and Manhattan averages roughly $1000/sqft (source: http://www.altosresearch.com/research/CA/san-francisco-real-estate-market). This makes the Veer Towers slightly more costly than San Fran, and slightly less costly than New York.
Are these prices fair?
I guess it depends how badly you want to live on Las Vegas Boulevard. Given the recession this town is enduring, the prices seem steep to me, but they have already been cut by 30%. My guess it that MGM cannot go much lower without taking a loss on the units themselves. Remember, City Center was begun during the era of peak avarice. What seemed reasonable then seems silly now, but the company cannot take the towers back for a refund like a pair of Best Buy headphones. They've got to see it through and do their best to sell the units to the masses.
I actually thought about going up in one of the towers, but by the time I found the front desk, I was already kind of fed up.
City Center is one of the few places on Earth I can think of that I dislike more each time I go to it.
Seriously, I hate some places out of the gate, and other places actually grow on me, but City Center has the unusual effect of actually reverse-growing on me. I found it somewhat tolerable during the first couple of months of its opening, and I even enjoyed certain aspects of it, but as time goes on, I just find the place more and more irritating.
I can't really put my finger on why this is, but I think the layout is starting to tweak my nipples a bit. For instance, today, it took me the better part of a half hour to find an open entrance to the Veer Towers. Most of the entrances to the towers were locked, and every turn I took that seemed logical met a dead end.
After trying every other route possible, I went to the underground valet, and I finally found an unlocked door. The concierge desk for the towers is literally underground, next to a subterranean parking depot. You know, just like a real city.
I approached the concierge and asked if I could go up and see a room, and she said "Sure, let me make a quick call so that someone can escort you up".
I asked her if I could go without the "escort", but apparently this was not possible. I mulled over waiting for the guide, but decided against it. The chances of me being able to be fake-friendly to someone who was being fake-friendly to me were low. There is not enough morphine in the world to allow me to bullshit my way through the typical Vegas phoniness right now.
It's 112 degrees outside, and as I sit here typing this, it is 91 degrees in my nerd cave even though my AC has not kicked off once for the past week. Temperatures above 77 degrees are associated with a decrease in mental production and concentration at the rate of 2%-per-degree, and I feel like everything I try to do lately sucks ass.
"We feel the same way, Rex."
Blow me, assholes.
I'm going to have to pay $500 to NV Energy for the privilege of sitting in a puddle of my own ball sweat for two months, and my inflated sales tax money is paying the salary of men who are shooting shoppers at Costco. I have so much contempt for this place right now, that it would probably be better if I got off of the topic. This is one of the reasons I need to take a week or two break from the town every now and then.
In any event, I got a peek at the inside of the towers, and they looked like typical City Center ultra-clean sterility. Glass from floor to ceiling, glistening steel, the usual.
While I was walking through City Center today, I was a little surprised by how empty it was. Granted I was there between 8-11 in the morning, but it looked like a Wednesday morning instead of a Saturday morning. Crystals was deserted, and the casino was only marginally more populated. The entire town is a bit slow this weekend, and thin crowds are not isolated to City Center, but I'm just not sure how many slow weekends a multi-billion dollar project can endure.
I hope the new buildings will be successful for the good of the city, but deep down, I just don't see the place filling up anytime soon. Since City Center opened, only 300 units have been sold, and despite the claims of real estate "experts", I don't think we are on the brink of a turnaround. My guess is that these towers are going to be financially troubled for a good, long time, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
Anyway, the Veer Towers are now open and ready for business.
For those of you clamoring to live in a world class urban meeting place ... and really, who isn't ... your prayers have officially been answered. If Vdara wasn't your cup of tea, you now have two new residential options to choose from in our newest, um, city.
Pick up the phone, and purchase a unit today. Hey, if you're feeling extra lucky maybe you could even play at some US online casinos while you're at it.
Our economy depends on it.

Hotter than hades
A couple years ago...actually I think it's more like ten years ago now. My Aunt and uncle were having an Aniversery party. Twenty Five beautiful years together. But they heat was stealing the show. It was in the middle of July and it was hotter the hades. People pulled at their clothes and wiped at their forheads. All around me the exact same conversation was going on. " God! It's hot! I wished they had a pool. I really need to cool off!"
My other uncle Dean has the next natural evolving idea. We need a pool. Let's make a pool...In the back of my truck. That was his next idea he was going to drive us around the neighbourhood and show off his pimped out truck.
He layed down a blue tarp and stuck the hose in the back, and started attempting to fill up the truck. All the water spilled out the sides. So he got out a chalking gun and tried to fill the cracks. Operative word " try' the water kept slipping through the cracks again.
My Uncle Dean gave up and we decied the best course of action was to stay well hydrated. My father cracked open a beer and nodded that it was indeed sound advice.

Nice gun.
I really love the trigger pull on them. Wonderful CCW selection.
This is a discussion on Uh Oh....my Kahr 9mm's are in trouble! within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; But in a nice way. Why? 'Cause I'm finally a member of the HK P7 cult! I purchased this P7 over at Gunsamerica.com. The seller ...
But in a nice way.
'Cause I'm finally a member of the HK P7 cult!
I purchased this P7 over at Gunsamerica.com. The seller was John Zephir at Zephir's Sportsman's Supply & Equipment. This purchase was my first (and very positive) experience on Gunsamerica.
I purchased this gun on my birthday (or at least I placed the order) and received it on Friday.
The gun feels great in my hands and the Euro bottom magazine release doesn't bother me. It's just going to be whole new manual-of-arms I will have to get used to.
Now for a nice cleaning (and checking of the piston, gas port and extractor which all look good after field stripping the gun)....I wish it came with more than one magazine. They are still available from some sites I see for between $50-60 dollars.
Here's the original sale posting:
I will shoot the gun this week (Hurricane Wilma permitting).
I already see a hard chroming job, night sights and Nills wooden stocks in her future!
Any other P7 owners out there?

wow, nice gun. I own a USP, but always liked the P7's looks. Not sure if it would work well for a leftie though.
She's a HK,what can ya say. Great gun with some character. I know she's yours---BUT--- please,no hard chrome or wood grips. She'll thank you for it later.-----------
I personally don't see anything wrong with accessorizing a Cadillac with a Mercedes.
John Moses Browning and Eugene Stoner were the Albert Einstein's of the Gun Industry!
I think the P7 lends itself perfectly to lefty use....if you look carefully at my photo, there's a button to lock the slide just to the rear the middle of the trigger. It's easier (for me at least) to manipulate the button with my left hand and index finger. Releasing the slide, cocking the gun and hitting the magazine release are all hand neutral with this gun.Originally Posted by rockyI would actually rather keep it black, but a bunch of P7 owners over at Parkcitiestactical.com have HC'd P7's and all comment that very little wear is evident with their guns even after thousands of rounds and/or holster presentations.Originally Posted by RSSZ
After seeing the HK photos taken by Dr. Ken Lunde, I've decided "why not?": http://www.praxagora.com/lunde/hks.html
Besides....if I HC this one....it'll give me an excuse to get another one and keep that one black!

Since production ceased - will spares be any problem - that is one thing that had concerned me a bit.
Other thing folks do mention is how hot they get after only moderate thruput - at least with P7M8 and I assume same gas system. Price seemed very fair as these and similar models apparently in much demand.
I may be remembering wrong but have a feeling Class3NH has one.

Yes, acquiring spare parts are kind of a challenge....but they do exist. That's one reason why people HC their P7's (according to parkcitiestactical.com)...to reduce wear on parts.
Yes, the first couple of P7 generations (PSP and P7) get hot after 50 or 60 rounds or so....hence the P7M8 and it's heat shield.....hey! That's another reason to pick up a second P7.....when one is cooling off, I fire the second one!

Looks like a very solid price, I usually see them upwards of 800-900. I fancy the M13 model so badly, but the price they fetch for a 9mm

Good memory Chris! indeed I do! In fact TWO PSPs (1 in hard chrome with night sights) One in Bluse with night sights, AND a P7M8 as well! I guess that makes it a THREESOME They work flawlessly, and will eat anything you put through them. I would suggest the Fed Hydra Shoks, Gold Dots, and Fed/Win FMJ. Stay away from the Wolf 9 mm stuff, or you'll be in dire straits.Originally Posted by P95Carry
BTW, DON'T thorughly clean the gas rod, as the weapon works better with it being slightly dirty. The weapon was designed for either a Righty or LEFTY shooter. Mags are no problem either. BEST thing is, if you have the takedown tool, you can pull the firing pin assy out, AND leave the weapon with a round in chamber, and full mag, thus rendering the weapon TOTALLY harmless and inoperable to small, inquisitive hands.
Have you been peeking in my safe? I have a couple of Kahrs and think they're great. I just picked up a P7M8 (already hard chromed). The things I like about the Kahrs are much the same as what drew me to the P7 (flat, reliable, constant trigger pull, accurate).
Now, I just need to find a holster for it.
I kinda like the European Style mag release.
It's actually quite fast on a magazine change but, takes lots of practice & a bit of "Slight Of Hand Manipulation" but, it's worth the time & effort to master it.

Very nice!
My brother has a PSP and really enjoys his. The plus side of having a "staple gun" is that for whatever freak reason your handgun is wrestled away from you, chances are the other person won't know how to operate it.

By the time she finished filming the new comic drama Hysteria in England, Maggie Gyllenhaal had 15 new vibrators. "People just kept giving them to me," she said, her wide blue eyes widening even more, during a joint interview in Toronto with her director, Tanya Wexler, and co-stars Jonathan Pryce and Hugh Dancy.
"I gave you a bullet-shaped one," Wexler reminded Gyllenhaal. "I gave everyone in the cast and crew one when we started. You try going through customs with 20 small vibrating devices in your luggage."
"That's happened to me my whole career," Dancy joked. "I went to a sex museum in Shanghai before the film. It's hundreds of artifacts that you have to take at their word were used for sex, because a lot of them look like ... that's a rock! You just can't see how, anatomically –"
"I went to a sex museum, too," Gyllenhaal said. "The vibrators there looked like hairdryers."
This is the way it goes when you talk about Hysteria, which opened in select cities on Friday. It's based on the true story of doctors in Victorian England (played by Dancy and Pryce) who, while pursuing a "cure" for hysteria – the then-popular diagnosis for general female dissatisfaction – ended up accidentally inventing the vibrator. Gyllenhaal plays Charlotte, a free spirit who wises up Dancy as to what hysteria is really about.
"I like to leave a little pause before I explain the plot," Pryce said, grinning. "Then there's another little pause while the listener takes it in."
"The most incredible thing – the source of both the comedy and the meaningful stuff," Dancy offered, "is that these serious medical men, without any irony, were diagnosing this non-existent condition, doing what they were doing to treat it" – that is, massaging their patients' clitorises until they climaxed – "and totally neglecting to see there was anything sexual about it. Which is astonishing."
"It's a massive conversation-starter," Wexler summed up.
Forthright conversations about female sexuality seem to be happening more and more these days – in David Cronenberg's recent drama A Dangerous Method, in which Freud and Jung test their theories about hysteria on a willing patient; in the HBO series Girls, in which four twentysomething New York women navigate the murky waters of 21st-century sex; and even in the commercials for Summer's Eve vaginal cleansing cloths, whose slogan is "Hail to the V."
"It's territory we haven't explored much before now, but I don't know why that is," Gyllenhaal said.
"Isn't it due to what this movie suggests?" Dancy suggested. "That women categorically have desires and needs equal to or as individual as men, but since most movies are made by men, it's threatening? Because it suggests a whole other life going on that's separate."
While the sex scenes in Girls and A Dangerous Method are far edgier, Wexler positioned her film on "that nexus between tee-hee and hmm," she said. "One of the main things I had to work out was not what we'd show, but how the women's orgasms would sound. They couldn't be too funny or too porny. When the actresses went for a more painful sound, it fell flat. But when the sounds were joyous, the comedy worked, and allowed the audience to enjoy it with them."
This comic approach allowed Wexler to set what must be a new record for female orgasms per film. Girls is groundbreaking in its depiction of honest, unpretty sex, but in the first four episodes, none of its heroines got off. And according to Kirby Dick's documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated, about the U.S. ratings system, the single factor most likely to result in a film's receiving the strictest rating is the depiction of a female orgasm – not violence, not even men climaxing. "A woman experiencing pleasure," Dick has said, "seems to be the most dangerous thing of all."
"The issue in all these scripts is about women being able to choose their own destiny," Wexler said. "They're about whose hands, literally, the power is in. So the movement in our film goes from someone else allowing you to realize your desires, to yourself. I think it's subversive to make a film about the vibrator that you can bring your mom to."
"A lot of the films I make have a lot to do with sexuality, and that's because I'm interested in sexuality," Gyllenhaal said. "I learn about the characters I play through sex scenes. A sex scene can be a soft-core porn thing, which you see all the time, where it's all about how great I look in this demi-cut black bra and I've been lit perfectly and I look like a fantasy of a woman – which is not my thing; it makes me scared and nervous. Or it can be an amazing opportunity for a different kind of acting and a different kind of communicating. I think that opens up a whole other way of looking at your own sex life. You think, 'That turns me on,' or, 'I relate to that.' It can make you feel, 'Maybe it's all right for me to want my sex life to go in this direction, or my heart.' "
"Women often get lost in the equation, and not just about sex," Wexler said. "In the years I spent getting this film made, I came up against that. Over and over again, the marketplace discovers there's this huge, underserved market of women who want to see movies that reflect their experience. And while a lot of women are interested in getting married, I think there are a lot of other topics that women are also interested in."
If honest sex is the subject that makes Hollywood finally pay attention to women, I say, yes … yes … yes! Because, despite this current frankness, femaleness retains a bit too much mystery, onscreen and off. "This is a romantic comedy, so I don't want to get too heavy-handed," Wexler said – then laughed along with everyone at her unintended pun. "But I think there's still a lot of shame out there. I had a college roommate, smart girl, went out with her boyfriend for three years and never had an orgasm. I think a lot of women today still think that without the insertion of the male member they're not real orgasms."
"Really?" Gyllenhaal asked, incredulous.
"A woman came up to me at a party after a screening," Dancy added, "and said, 'You know, unlike men, women cannot outsource masturbation.' Then she walked off. I have no idea what she meant."
"Yeah," Gyllenhaal said. "Because, you know, we can."
"It's just not," Dancy summed up, "the kind of conversation I usually have."Report Typo/Error

Someone any advice on SNG 90 players in POKERSTARS
Hello community CARDSCHAT
I'm playing a while ago SNG from 90 to 180 players, low investment and good profit
but more I play every day I can not return a consistent winner
I am an aspiring professional player, and I read books like HARRINGTON ON HOLD'EM and I consider myself a conservative player
have any advice, any advice for me, would be helpful
i play the same i think the are nice tournaments too http://www.sitandgoplanet.com/multit...NGs_Part2.html good luck !
the best advice I think -- is not to think that you know a lot of poker. Poker is the subject of change, poker community the so. How much knowledge you get -- does not matter. Only practice, only training may make you game better in exact moment. But no one can say -- it will be the so in the next one.
Keep reading more and watch livestreams of other poker players. Also invest some money and get a well known poker coach who is good at SNGs and learn.
Keep track of your hand history and evaluate your hands and how you should've played the hand.
^^ this .
You really have to study all about sngs and strategy articles , about how to play winning poker found on this site and elsewhere . Have a BRM , be patient while you play , have notes on fishes when playing , be aggressive on positions and never feeling you're better than you really are so be carefull to what buyin sng youre playin at .
Read my posts on tournament strategy. it'll help you a lot. One thing which always helps in the tournament is knowing what your stack is worth. If you correctly evaluate your stack and relate it with the hand you are dealt, you'd be a winner in the long run.
re: Poker & Someone any advice on SNG 90 players in POKERSTARS
People who play poker are like people who drive cars. everyone believes their skill is above average. All the lessons and playing in the world will only make you play more consistently, and make good decisions most of the time. The problem is that as a game of chance, all the skill in the world will not make your cards any better. In the sng,s to which you make reference, there are more bad players than good, and you have to remember that success comes to the professionals about 15% of the time. It is possible if you can make final tables or get that big win, but it will take lots of time and luck. If skill was the only criteria, all pros would be millionaires. All I can do is to re-emphasize that you learn to make good decisions, and then hope that the cards fall in your favor. GL with your progress.
In the early stages i think you should play very tight, especially from early position. You can afford to play a wider range of hands from MP and then your widest from late position. Feel free to see cheap flops with suited marginal hands from late position and the blinds as long as you have the right pot odds.
In the middle stages (60-120), you should still play tight from EP and MP, but you should start stealing the blinds from late position. Be prepared to shove on the button with a short stack, if you have to.
If you make it to the bubble, your #1 objective is to build as big of a stack as possible, to make it to first place. You should be playing aggressively, by stealing the blinds and forcing your opponents to make decisions.
In the final table, you should start playing very tightly again from EP and MP, while still being aggressive from LP. You can no longer afford to see cheap flops. As the final table gets short-handed, you should play aggressively from all positions.
Heads-up is when you should play most aggressive, forcing your opponent to make a decision. I recommend you study and practice your heads-up play.
Good luck
On sng's and tournaments YOU NEED TO STEAL.PERIOD.Unless you start stealing blinds and pots bluffing you are not going to win as often as needed.Its good to be conservative but you have to pick spots like blind to blind situation to steal the pots.If you always wait to peak up a hand forget it.I would advice you to watch daniel negreanu's videos on small ball poker.For me thats the best strategy and I've been using it even before I watched the video.and one thing more.If you are left with less than 10 big blinds you should atart considering pushing with a 56 off suit cause even if you double up you still got a long way.you dont want to wait for an aq and double up for 6 big blinds this will take you no where.you should also study implied odds because in the early stages of a sng blinds are very little compared to your big blinds so a 9 10 off suit can do miracles if you hit the flop hard.
re: Poker & Someone any advice on SNG 90 players in POKERSTARS
and also that thing that -hello how are you" said.If you are in a blind to blind situation where the bb has less than 6 big blinds you are priced in to put him all in with any two cards.So just shove.you'll be surprised how many times you'll bust people.
In any tournament you will have to be agressive in some part of the juourney, unless you want to die without air. The point is be agressive when? Sometimes everyone folds all the time, otherwise there are crazy calls. A good reading of the betting game momentum is very important to raise more cheaps.

Chennai, Oct 5 : About 280 dogs comprising of thirty-six breeds participated in a dog show held in Chennai today.
The Madras Canine Club, who organised the show is an organization affiliated to the kennel club of India, which was established in 1997 by a band of devoted band of dog lovers, and it is a sole ruling body for all canine affairs in India.
President of the Canine Club Sudhrsanam said that the dog show was a hit and it included some of the rare breeds.
"The show has attracted around 280 dogs comprising about 36 breeds and has been going on very well. We have quite a few rare breeds like Salukis, Saint Bernard, Foxhound, Shih Tzu," said Sudhrsanam.
Participants at show felt that such shows are a good way to see different breeds and it also proves to be a good outing for their pet.
"I have been coming here for the last eight years. I think it's a wonderful experience. I come here twice a year. Since January this is the second time I have come here. It's a wonderful experience where you get to see other dogs, breeds. And you need to take your dog out, so this way you can take out your dog out," said Nirmala, a participant,
The show highlighted number of rich breeds including Irish Setter, Retriever Golden, Retriever Labrador, Spaniel, English Basset Hound, Beagle, Dachshund, Rajapalayam Chippiparai, Fox Terrier, Pinscher, Pug, Bull Dog, Dalmatian, Doberman, German Shepherd and Siberian Husky. By Jaya Kumar

At long last, the presidents came. Filing out of the UN buildings in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, a handful of the leaders attending the 8th African Union heads of state summit last week deigned to visit the exhibition by African scientists on their way to a gala dinner. For the scientists hosting stands, it was a welcome payoff after almost a week of uncertainty. "The leaders are not scientists," said Robson Mafoti, who heads a research lab in Zimbabwe. "They need to be educated. I think it's up to us to do it."
"You must write about the science exhibition," said Calestous Juma, the Harvard professor of international development. As he opened the part of the summit devoted to science, Juma said enthusiasm for science had been key in building the Asian tiger economies. "Latecomers tend to grow faster than frontrunners, which should give you hope to grow as fast as China, if not faster."
Like the stallholders, Juma had waited anxiously to see whether science would be pushed off the agenda in favour of issues such as Somalia. In the end, it was mentioned in keynote addresses by the new UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, Italy's prime minister, Romano Prodi, and Patrick Manning, the prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago. But the subject was not given a lot of time in the main heads of state sessions.
The leaders passed a declaration re-asserting their aim to spend 1% of GDP on research and development by 2010. They also agreed to support a pan-African organisation for intellectual property, to bolster cooperation between developing countries and to assign 2007 as the year of launching science in Africa.
"I don't think you would have expected more," said Phil Mjwara, director general of South Africa's department for science and technology. These proposals were drawn up by science ministers meeting in Cairo last year, and anything more would have been icing on the cake.
As with many summits, the plenary floor was not necessarily where the main action took place. Donors including the Gates Foundation and Unesco queued up at the summit. Who knows what deals were struck in the corridors of the Addis Sheraton, where the great and the good gathered after a long day.
As journalists, ministers and officials clogged the airport in an exodus that would allow the capital to return to its normal sleepy self, the feelings of many were mixed. But science had its afternoon in the spotlight - maybe that will be enough to further its cause.

Do you love the sport of basketball in general, yet hate the ongoing 82-game (not including playoffs and preseason) grind that is the NBA? Are you one of those disgruntled fans who've contributed to the rumblings over recent years that you only watch the NBA after the All-Star break and into the Playoffs? Well, you might be in luck, because this is where the Champions League comes in.
The Champions League, according to various sources, isn't affiliated with the NBA. However, many alumni from "The League" have signed up to compete in the new league of teams. Notables such as Rasheed Wallace, Josh Howard, Al Harrington, and Brandon Roy will be suiting up for action. The Champions League will feature 30-games per season, and 16-teams will be in the mix just in time for the summer of 2016.
The markets that will house The Champions League are Atlanta, Boston, Orlando, Philly, Miami, D.C., and Cleveland. 250 players are required for the league to run smoothly.
As mentioned before, there are quite a few sports fans (not Yours Truly) who are understandably disgruntled with the current state of the NBA…you know, the "I can't stand the overstacked teams", "They play too many games. I'll wait till the Playoffs to watch", "Certain players don't play anymore, so basketball isn't the same" crowd who feels this way because they are simply fed up with the current state of the game.
Another cool thing about the Champions League is that it gives another alternative for older NBA players who can still play the game, yet have possibly been pushed aside because of the league's current youth movement. It has also been reported that the league will eventually become a place for ballers to put in work in the event that they choose not to play overseas. It also ensures that the players stay fresher and are able to withstand the entirety of the season without dragging across the finish line of the postseason.
If you're still a basketball fan at heart, regardless of the generational shift of the game, or you're just looking for more basketball to satisfy your hoops cravings during the offseason, the Champions League might be worth looking into.
Check out this video of the press conference announcing the launch of the Champions League.

The Right to Bare Legs by Joan Rivers - Not BAD at All!

Comments about Joan Rivers Beauty® Right To Bare:
I've got very bad veins so they show up dark blue and are very blotchy near my feet and ankle area. I put this cover up on first but it was too thick so, I applied a good moisturizer then put this over it and it was Great! It was still thick but it worked very well and it didn't turn orange nor discolor in anyway. I hope the price stays low as it's on sale now, I may buy more. Also, per instructions let it dry for the full 10 minutes because it does rub off on clothes when still wet, but after 10 minutes if you let it air dry well it doesn't come off at all until you shower that night. It's good stuff.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Budget Buyer
I bought two tubes of this one in the lightest color for winter and one medium for summer. Neither one of these colors worked. They were both too dark and way too orange on my skin. No matter what I did it was extremely noticeable yet did nothing to cover my spider veins. I went back to using a $3.00 tube of concealer that is a perfect match. I will always stick with what works from now on and this isn't one of those.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Even with extra thick application this product did not cover my spider veins to the point where I was comfy exposing my legs. Wanted to like but alas, no dice.

Palm Beach Gardens (Fla.) Dwyer
Class of 2012
Life as a nationally ranked center began inauspiciously for James. He grew relatively late and didn't begin playing organized basketball until his sophomore season, and during that short span he surpassed many of those whose reputations exploded earlier in the process.
In short order, James emerged during his junior season as one of the many high-major frontcourt prospects within the Class of 2012. His recruitment gained steam slowly and gradually led to scholarship offers from the in-state and other regional schools, followed by more national programs during the summer and fall.
Roy Williams watched James during his junior year and the Tar Heels continued to evaluate him during the 2011 July live period, offering him and signing him last fall.
Size is James' top attribute, followed by his excellent hands. He's not only tall but, unlike many high school big men, won't need to bulk up for college. He also possesses long arms, enabling him to play even taller than his actual height. In a world filled with 6-8 college centers, James is a more traditional five-man in terms of his basic physicality. He also snares nearly every pass or rebound that makes contact with his hands, a valuable tool as defenses tend to focus on bumping and stripping Carolina's big men.
Another aspect of his game that runs contrary to trend, James himself understands and embraces his role as a dedicated post player. He doesn't float to the three-point line, attempt to put the ball on the floor or harbor ambitions of becoming a face-up shooter in the NBA. He's developing the skills and style of play best suited for what he'll need to be at the highest levels of the sport, and his progress evidences that he has adopted a sound approach to his career.
And James isn't just big; he actively uses his bulk to create contact and seal off opponents. He isn't a bruiser in the purest sense, but no one will tell you that he's shy of contact, either.
Clearly, his best days lay ahead. Evaluating James or any other unrefined big man requires one to discuss what he will be or at least can be, rather than what he is presently. Ultimately, he has the excellent size and body type to become a truly powerful interior defender and defensive/positioning rebounder. The southpaw also does hit occasional short-range jump shots, suggesting that his offensive game at least could become more balanced than his current limitations suggest.
You'll read various criticisms of James' game, but no one questions his work ethic. He has shed 50 pounds and at this point shouldn't lose any additional mass; he now must firm up and become more muscular.
As a scorer, James definitely must be considered a project. He doesn't yet have the post moves or knack for finishing around the rim that his higher-rated contemporaries possess, and his relative lack of straight-up leaping ability causes him to get more shots blocked and altered than you might expect. He also shot under 60 percent from the foul line as a senior.
There's also the matter of conditioning. James has dropped excess weight but still must improve his conditioning to run full speed for more than a few minutes at a time. His activity level obviously suffers due to his inability to sustain high exertion for longer stretches, something that he should be able to improve without too much difficulty as he masters UNC's strength and conditioning program.
Meanwhile, he hasn't yet harnessed the nuances of positioning, either individually or understanding where his teammates and opponents are located. Developing basketball IQ typically requires years of seasoning, and this is an area obviously impacted by his late entrance into the game. Foul problems are likely to surface early in his collegiate career.
Evaluating James athletically is a difficult task simply because no one knows how he'll respond to changes in his body. As he boils down to a strong and toned physique, the speed, quickness and leaping ability issues that have hurt his production in the past might dissipate entirely. He clearly looked quicker and fresher during his senior season thanks to the dropped weight.
College Projection
In a sense, James almost has to be evaluated as a high school freshman or sophomore. Assessing young big men at that early stage requires a great deal of guesswork and tremendous patience with limitations. Scores of very successful frontcourt prospects needed years to refine their craft, and that includes those who'd been playing their entire lives.
James wasn't overly productive on the travel circuit or a big high school scorer because he's both a hoops neophyte and — a fact that's frequently overlooked — was only 6-6 as a sophomore. He hasn't been playing basketball for long and hasn't been that big for long, either, two realities conspiring against him on the court for the time being.
So, there's no realistic expectation for how effective he'll be in college because the necessary information about his game doesn't exist. All scouting requires educated guesswork, but the library of evidence normally at our disposal is more of a bookmobile in this instance.
He unquestionably lacks the skills and track record Roy Williams usually welcomes into his program, but he just as unquestionably has traveled a vast distance as a player — assisted in large part by his admirable work ethic and clear understanding of what he needs to be as a player —during a limited timeframe. Whether his progress rate maintains, slows or hastens will determine how effective he can be in college, and how soon. Again, his season's progress appears promising.
For the time being, it's probably safest to project him as a low-output scorer during his freshman and sophomore seasons despite the fact that he'll need to play meaningful minutes given UNC's lack of frontcourt experience in 2012-13. My guess is that he'll develop more quickly as a space-eating defender and rebounder, and over time he should be able to utilize his wide body and long arms to solve the shotblockers he struggled against in high school.
His ranking in the national top 75 makes sense as a hedge. He could become a pleasant surprise who races past a substantial number of peers — as he has done already — or he could become a more modest, four-year player. Either way, from Carolina's perspective he helps address the roster's most critical need and thus is more valuable to the Tar Heels than he would have been to others.

Written For A Tumblr Prompt: Caleb and Paige are being dragged by Em and Hanna to the mall and find themselves carrying bags and exchanging glares.
Disclaimer: They're not mine. Surprised?
Author's Notes: This fic is separate from 'Seven For A Secret' though it could conceivably happen within that universe. It's fluff, whole fluff and nothing but the fluff. No handbags or hobos were harmed in the making of this fic.
Review or you'll make Emily cry. No one likes it when Emily cries. Paige will come for you.
Paige sipped at her bottle of water, brain threatening to leak out her ears as Hannah and Emily squealed excitedly at photos on a phone. What was it this time? The perfect skirt? The perfect bra? She had tuned out somewhere around the time the girls had delved into a deep debate of peep toe versus closed. Or maybe it had been wedges versus stilettos?
"I totally saw a dress like that in one of the shops we passed."
Of course, a dress. Paige's age old nemesis. The Wil Wheaton to her Sheldon Cooper. The girls' one and only misguided attempt to wrangle her into a dress this trip had nearly ended in a Hastings level temper tantrum.
"Awesome. We should double back."
Double back? Run that gauntlet of oversized bags, crochety cashiers and over priced merchandise again? No. Strike that. Hell no.
"Totally. That's okay, right, Caleb?"
"Huh?" Caleb didn't look up from his work, busily tapping away on Paige's phone to give her free text messaging. What girl didn't need unlimited texting when she was dating Emily Fields? If she wasn't getting threatening messages from some all knowing letter of the alphabet, it was Hastings blowing up her phone with her latest theories.
"We were just saying there was a few shops we wanted to go back to before we headed home." Hannah's doe eyed look was a solid piece of competition for Aria at her Bambiest. Caleb was going to crack. It was up to Paige to hold the lines.
"Yeah, sure."
Paige turned to stare at him. Surrendering without a shot. Amateur.
"Awesome. Paige, what about you?"
Stay strong, McCullers. Resist the puppy dog eyes. You can do it. Emily smiled sweetly, dark gaze pleading. "It's getting late," Paige hazarded. Wait. No. She'd meant to say 'no'. Damn.
Hannah and Emily shared knowing smiles that Paige felt she should understand but didn't. There was treachery afoot. "Please, Paige. It won't take long."
Paige looked to her girlfriend, hoping her desire to do no such thing shone through in her incredulous stare. She was already sitting amidst a stack of retail bags, Emily and Hannah near obscured across the food court table by shoe boxes.
"Em..." Seeming to sense the weakening defences, Emily struck without mercy, flashing Paige a bright smile that promised rewards for good behaviour. Double damn.
Mayday! Mayday! We're going down!
"An hour," Paige finally said in compromise, turning to Caleb, looking for some measure of solidarity. If they both stood their ground, they had a chance. Right?
"Yeah, we should get on the road before rush hour. It's a long drive back to Rosewood."
The pair squealed in delight, a high pitch that Paige was surprised to hear replicated by someone who wasn't toddling about in diapers. The shoppers stood, Hannah not even pretending to reach for her purchases. Caleb, evidently well trained and well versed in shopping with his girlfriend, picked up the bags, arranging them neatly in his arms. His expectant side glance at a still seated Paige told her she was meant to follow his lead. She obligingly grabbed Emily's bags -thankfully a smaller pile than Hannah's- slinging bags and boxes under her arms.
"Paige, you don't have to..." Emily started.
"It's cool, you two'll move faster if you have your hands free." Paige was rewarded for her chivalry with a brief kiss on the lips, Emily's hands running down her arms in promise of more plentiful rewards later.
Paige and Caleb followed behind the dynamic duo who flitted from shop window to shop window only to pounce on unsuspecting retailers with abandon. A glance passed between them as the pair checked out the newest edition in a shoe line that promised a future of backaches and cramped toes. Though Paige couldn't -wouldn't- wear the shoes herself, neither could she argue with the results, high heels accentuating Emily's well shaped calves and rear to the point where all logical thought left her.
"Do you think Toby and Mr. Fitz are as whipped as we are?" Caleb asked, his attention nowhere near Paige as his eyes followed Hannah's walk.
"I don't think I've ever seen Toby set foot in a store that didn't involve tools or trucks. And I try to avoid thinking about Mr. Fitz in general."
"Creeped about him dating Aria?"
"More like I don't understand the obsession with sweater vests," Paige said. "When I think of him shopping, all I can picture is a baby fawn lying in fields of argyle."
"We're going to go into this one." Hannah pointed to a high end shop that promised high end prices. It contained far more peach than Paige could reasonably be expected to tolerate and she held her ground at the bench across from the store. Caleb put his bags down, tapping his watch so Hannah would remember they were running on a clock. It was nice to dream.
"Could you hold this for me? Pretty please?" Emily asked, holding out her handbag. Paige wasn't sure whether to hold it or shoot it, the feathers too numerous to get a handle on whether it was dead or alive. Had it moved? She thought it had moved.
"Did you... ah, borrow this from Aria, by any chance?" she asked, gamely taking the bag from her girlfriend.
"Yeah, why?"
"Oh, no reason." When was her last rabies shot? Did the Philly hospitals carry anti-venom? A second kiss silenced her mental run through of routes to the nearest ER.
Once Caleb was secured with a slightly less ominous red, gator skin purse, Hannah and Emily disappeared without so much as a backward glance.
"Ten minutes, Hannah," Caleb called out, getting a distracted wave in response.
Caleb reclined, leaning into the cushions of the overstuffed bench as they waited. Paige left off inspecting the bag for fangs, tucking the purse between her feet. At least if it came alive, it'd take out her shin rather than dealing a critical hit.
"How are you holding up?"
"I got shot, right in the gut. And it was still less painful than this." Caleb motioned to the obscenely large mall around them, hundreds of people milling about, the chatter almost deafening.
"Tell me about it."
"You're a girl, aren't you supposed to like all this stuff?"
"If it's not hockey or swimming gear, I avoid this like I avoid non-contact sports. My mom dresses me."
"You're kidding." Caleb looked her over, from distressed boots to page cap, eyebrow raised.
"Nope. For some reason she has a blast playing dress up. I think it's an excuse to try out all that GQ crap that she would never get my dad to wear."
"Your dad's not into fashion?"
"Nah, probably afraid if he dresses too well he might catch The Gay."
"Is it hard for you, with your parents?"
"They weren't thrilled with it but they've gotten used to the idea. And a near death experience kind of puts things in perspective."
"How's things that way? Anymore texts from 'A'?"
"Nothing so far. Hastings have any leads?"
"Last I heard, she was going after someone named Heather."
"Who the hell is Heather?"
"I don't know, some blogger chick that Spencer thinks knows too much. Apparently she saw something on Twitter."
Rolling her eyes, Paige slumped lower in her seat only to knock a stack of shoes over. "I bet Bruce Wayne never had to do this for Selina Kyle," Paige said, giving the bags in front of her a light kick.
"Well, when you become a billionaire playboy vigilante, you can hire someone to carry Emily's bags for you."
"Hey, man, I could be Batman. I kick ass. All ass. All the time."
Caleb quirked an eyebrow, uncommonly pretty cheekbones standing in stark relief as he smiled.
"Okay, that wasn't my best offering. My point is, this is embarrassing. I'm an ass kicking athletic superstar. You're a bad ass hacker and yet we've been reduced to personal schleps. How does that happen?"
Emily poked her head out the door, an unfamiliar strapless top hugging her trim form. The tops' deep shade of purple was reminiscent of the dress Emily had tried on for Cece, rich colour accentuating tanned skin. The sheen of the satin made Emily's hair somehow silkier, dark locks flowing in thick waves to frame a particularly perky amount of cleavage.
"That's how," Caleb helpfully supplied.
What? 'That's how', what? Had they been having a conversation?
"Five more minutes, okay? There's tons of stuff in here Hannah wants to try."
"Take your time," Paige said, at once proud she had managed to string the small sentence together and somewhat stunned by how easily she was reduced to little more than a puddle on the floor.
"Take your time?" Caleb asked as Emily ducked back in the store. "Really, Batman?"
"Did you see that top? You can't expect me to make reasonable choices with that around. That's like expecting Spencer to function without coffee, the world would implode right before the universe itself winked out of existence."
They sat in silence, Paige content to replay the vision of Emily in the new top as she waited the girls out.
"We've hit time, right?"
Paige checked her watch, nodding at him. Hannah and Emily's prearranged ten minutes to raid the small boutique had long expired. She had given them an extra five minutes as a buffer but they were straying over the mark now. If they had any hope of getting through the oversized mall and back to Rosewood before Halloween, they needed to keep the girls on track.
"One of us has to go in there," Caleb said, eyes clearly stating who he thought was going to end up with the task.
"Why me?"
"I'm tired."
"Now? You're tired now? After sherpa-ing all their crap across half the damn planet, you're tired after we've been sitting for twenty minutes?"
"Hey, man. I got shot," he reminded, pulling up his shirt to show the still angry scar.
"All right, all right." Paige held up her hands to stop the strip show. "I'll go. But if I'm not back in five, you've got to come in after me."
"Never leave a man behind, I gotcha."
"I'm serious, bro code cites serious penalties for abandoning your post," Paige warned as she stood. She wandered warily toward the store, reflexes at the ready, body prepared for any eventuality. There was no telling when Hannah or some opportunistic chiffon peddling clerk might jump out to lace her up. She had been shanghaied some four stores back, half wrangled into a black dress by Hannah before she knew what was happening.
Stepping into the high end shop, Paige felt instantly out of place amidst the satin dresses and silk pants. Her plaid capris, low hanging suspenders and 'Ride to Live' shirt were no match for hundred dollar halter tops and -Paige reached out to check the tag on a set of shoes- four hundred dollar shoes. Wait, what?! "Four hundred dollars?! Holy balls, are they made of gold?"
Paige clapped a hand over her mouth at the uncouth outburst, the painfully thin clerk giving an undignified sniff before walking into the change rooms.
Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! Paige backed out of the store -eyes on alert for the Skeletor in satin- retreating to where Caleb lounged, Hannah and Emily's booty beside him. "I'm not going in there alone. You're coming with me."
"Last I checked, I had too much equipment for the girls change room."
"Please. Of the two of us, I'm the one who gets the boy points today. You and those lustrous locks of yours better butch up and help me."
Caleb grudgingly collected Hanna's gear as Paige grabbed Emily's, stiffening her upper lip as they went once more into the breach.
If Paige felt out of place, Caleb couldn't be in much better shape. Though his clothes had taken a decidedly less 'hopeful hobo' look over the last few months, simple jeans and a crewman shirt didn't fall into the haute coutour vibe of the shop.
"Do we have a battle plan?"
"Gentle but firm, we tell them time's up and we need to get moving."
"Sounds good, right up until they engage the Feminine Wiles defence system. What's your backup?"
"Resist," Paige said with a confident nod.
"You have met our girlfriends, right? How do you think we ended up spending eight hours at the mall in the first place."
"Uh..." Crap.
"I say we retreat and regroup, we need a new plan of engagement."
"Caleb, Paige is that you?" Hannah's voice called out from somewhere in the back.
"Damn, too late."
"If it comes down to it, I won't blame you if you try to save yourself," Paige said as Skeletor emerged from the change room to beckon them over with the crook of a bony finger.
Paige went first, Caleb had taken a bullet once, it was her turn. She followed the clerk into the peach painted room, a set of curtained change stalls hiding Emily from her.
Paige sat on an artsy chair that must have doubled as a torture device, there was no proper way to sit comfortably. Caleb was similarly troubled, long legs alternately tucked under the seat, crossed in front of him then splayed lazily as they waited.
"My ass is cramping. I'm tapped, this has to stop, we've got to go, " Paige whispered, shifting in her chair to bring feeling back to her butt cheek. "We spent two hours in traffic, half an hour finding a parking space, walked all over this damn mall, twice. Ate crappy food, carried more crap than a pack mule, I just think..."
The curtain opened, Hanna and Emily stepping out. While Paige knew Hannah was a good looking girl, she barely gave her a second glance, attention focused solely on Emily. The latest dress fit like a second skin, the intense royal blue fabric tightly casing the athletic form. Heels, fancier that Paige had ever seen Emily wear, forced toned calves to stand out in stark relief. There was no doubt Paige loved Emily in simple Converse shoes, jeans and t-shirt, her casual style entirely charming. But, every once in awhile, her girlfriend chose an outfit that made every part of Paige's body sit up and scream 'hello!'.
Caleb turned to her, satisfied grin matching Paige's.
"Worth. Every. Minute."

This Life of ours
One thought about how Life is conceived from the perspective of a person in its deathbed. True story.
The light spectrum was amazing, even in a bleak, cloudy afternoon. Light breezes intermittently blew the clouds apart, simmering sunlight at time. If you gazed up, the zephyr blew the leaves, in addition to the sparkles of sunlight that appear to be dancing lights of red, orange, yellow and green shades. It was heartening to bike under my happy spot, an ancient and strong tree standing in the middle of a magnificent park. The smooth sliding of my bicycle's tires against the ground made me feel at ease. Everything could be overcome.
As I turned the curb, an immense building stood, its white-washed wall gave it a solemn look. The place was a "reason more to hope" for the dying and ill, a place where the human heart and soul unites for compassion and understanding. I was overwhelmed to be a part of that.
As I entered the temple of healers, white lights flooded my sight. It was very busy, with nurses running around with some important life-or-death issue in mind, doctors being called to the various sectors of the hospital via-intercom. I looked around for the administration office to report myself to my first day of volunteering.
"You must be the new one," I heard a woman called from behind me, which startled me. I gave a little jump.
"Yes, ma'am." I said.
"Good, follow me. I'll show you around.
I followed the nurse obediently. My guide lead me through the hospital, located various pharmacy in within the hospital, patients check-ins, the storage rooms, emergencies room, etc. Awhile later she showed me the various Medical Sectors, it was like going through my childhood again, in which I spent countless of hours roaming around this very hospital, whilst my father was at work.
The critical patients' room, sometimes called the "Red Zone" of the hospital, were glass-covered and had sliding-glass doors, you could easily see the person who needed treatment. As I passed through each room, I felt different sensations according to what I saw. A room with a gathering of people meant a successful operation and in due recuperation, one with people holding hands was the "war of faith", praying for the operation to be successful. Every room had a sign of hope for recovery, except one.
The lights of the room were dim, giving it a somber-looking effect. The room inspired a sense of loneliness, the lady lying in the bed could easily be considered dead, but she wasn't. From the outside of the glass my heart thumped loudly when the room was in sight. I stopped wanting to satisfied my curiosity of the strange feeling. The door was slightly opened.
"I'm dying Doctor Greenwood," she said, weakly.
"I know," was the only thing he said, holding her hand tightly.
It was a quarter of an hour before my shift would come to an end, I was exhausted. I was waiting for the pharmacist to bring me a medicine which a doctor made me run an errand on. Dr. Greenwood caught with me while I was walking back with the medicine on hand.
We were silent for awhile.
"The woman in that room...." I hesitated, whether or not to continue.
"Yes. She is going to die." Dr. Greenwood said, understanding quite well the unspoken words. We fell silent once again.
The next afternoon I made my usual trip to the hospital along the same road I've always used. But this time the ride was not "smooth", I was very turbulent at mind. Death was my first impression of the hospital that day. The unbeatable death, a fate, curse or blessing, everybody must carry within themselves. Life seem so simple before that moment, human beings are so fragile at this point. As I rode through the park I saw a group of friends talking and enjoying a care-free walk. Near the lake, a boy was playing his guitar in harmony with the "quack quack!" of ducks. They seem so lighthearted of how fragile human life was, while people in the hospital cared a lot about it, what an irony.
I arrived at the hospital, the nurse who had shown me around the hospital came to me and said, "Good you are finally here, you have a special assignment today. A lady is in her deathbed, and she has got nobody to be with her. Will you mind being with her?"
That's the lady, I thought. I wanted to say no, but a greater force than my will made my head nod. It was all set, I shall be with her.
I was brought to her room, it was darker than I expected, and she seemed asleep, not stirring in her bed at all. I just sat down in the stool brought to me and stared out of the window, looking at the maple trees change their green foliage to bright autumnal colors.
"It's beautiful, right?" the lady asked.
I gave a jerk and spun my head at her direction, apparently she was awake, staring and having the same thoughts as I did. "Yes." I said softly.
"It's sad my death is approaching, I won't see these kinds of things again." There was only longing in her face, not a trace of sadness was there.
"Don't say that," I whispered, more to myself.
"You are still very young," she said kindly, although she wasn't more than thirty years old.
I remained quiet. She wanted water, so I went to fetch a jug of water. In my way back, I came across Dr. Greenwood.
"How are you doing with her?" he asked.
"Fine, I guess." I said, but couldn't stop myself for such a childish question, "Why isn't she sad at dying? I mean, she is leaving this world and the people who love her."
"She is a loner; she had a severe gastric infection called gastric ulcers. She was very advance in it; we couldn't do anything for her because she had renal failures too. She is way too fragile to perform any operation on her. She welcomes death as her only path at the moment," he said, and added in an undertone, "there are far more things to fear than death."
What could be scarier than death? I wondered. I had no idea at that time, but I have now.
I returned to the patient, she had sat up, her back against the bed recliner. She looked ghastly and pale, dark rims under her light brown eyes, her brunette hair seem thinner than thought of.
"You are back," she said with a welcoming smile.
"Yes, sorry for taking so long." I said.
"It wasn't long, I have appreciated every minute you were gone gazing out the window."
"What were you gazing at?" I said, then hastily, "If you don't mind telling me..."
"At the bright colors of autumn," she said, "it's sad I will just be somebody else in this world."
I stayed silent. "Do you mind me asking...?"
"Where is your family?" I inquired, and added rapidly, "you don't have to answer, sorry for my question."
"It's okay," she smiled kindly, "well, I don't know. For all I can remember I have been alone in this world and have left behind the people I've met."
"Oh..." was all I could manage to say.
"I will disappear completely when death comes to receive me with open arms. Life is not forever, but memories are, and I have no one to remember me, no one's memories in which I can dwell and be alive."
I was utterly shocked. "Memories are not forever." I said, after much contemplation, "When the owner of those memories dies, they will die with them too."
"Good thinking," she said. "But, memories are passed on."
"We are not forever," I said, debating with her, "human beings are very fragile...and memories are part of us, as imperfect as us."
"To Live beyond Death," She said finally.
Three days later she died, three months later I understood her words.
