Magakwe ... the big Olympic loser
SPRINTER Simon Magakwe ran into great form early this season, and now he's run into a brick wall.
The fastest man in South African history, having equalled the 10.06sec national record, impressed enough to earn invitations to top-notch European meets, lining up against Usain Bolt three times in May and June.
Magakwe ran six qualifying times in the 100m and two more in the 200m, but the recently crowned African 100m champion was not considered good enough to represent SA at the 2012 London Games.
The sad case of Magakwe's omission proves one thing - that SA's Olympic numbers just don't add up.
Of Team SA's 125 competitors for the London Games, 18 are pool swimmers. Track and field athletes - excluding the six marathon runners and one walker - total a paltry 13.
How on earth in sunny SA, where far more people are able to run, skip and jump than can swim, do we end up with more swimmers than athletes? Even if you add in the marathon runners and walker to push their squad to 20, you must throw in the two open-water swimmers. At best it's a dead heat.
But that remains an anomaly, because the Olympics are designed to accommodate far more athletes than swimmers.
Even the medals SA won at the respective world championships last year don't reflect this anomaly - the athletes won four and the swimmers one.
One obvious reason for this is the tough qualifying criteria agreed on between SA's Olympic body Sascoc and Athletics SA (ASA).
The IAAF requires athletes to achieve one A-qualifying time to secure automatic selection (as long as they are among their nation's top three), while Sascoc requires two A-qualifying times, one of those at an international meet.
Magakwe was undoubtedly the biggest loser.
Last week he became the first SA man to win the African 100m championship. His only crime was not being able to get an international qualifying time. ASA asked Sascoc to waive the qualifying rules for Magakwe and 1500m runner Johan Cronje, but without success.
When Leonard Chuene took on this SASCOC thugs he was eliminated and the nation stood behind SASCOC, nobody supported Chuene except for the lone voices of Butana Kompela & ANCYL. We are still not sure what Chuene's crime was but all we know is that athletes 2day say life was better under Chuene.How many swimming medals does SA have since 1992? 2 in Altanta, 1 in Sydney, 1 in Athens and 0 in Beijing. How many medals does track & field have since 1992? 2 in Barcelona, 2 in Atlanta, 2 in Sydney, 2 in Athens and 1 in Beijing.
Swimming = 4
Track & field = 9
Therefore, track & field beat swimming 9 – 4.
And the overall winner is: ASA
Report Abuse
@Karl ZimbiriYou must be a Sowetan reporter with your facts.
Swimming medals since 1992: 8 (3 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze)
Athletics medals since 1992: 9 (1 gold, 6 silver, 3 bronze)
I would have loved to see Magakwe represent Mzansi at the Olympics, but if he can't run the qualifying times (even his best personal time ever would've placed him last in the Athens final) then what can be done?
SASCOC doesn't want to just "fill up numbers" and send them to the Games. They want SA to be fully competitive. The swimmers have to meet exactly the same qualifying standards (ie. having two A-class qualifying times).

@Mamlambo - SASCOC doesn't want to just "fill up numbers" and send them to the Games. They want SA to be fully competitive. The swimmers have to meet exactly the same qualifying standards (ie. having two A-class qualifying times).But thats what they did with bionic fcuken c.rap !!

Sorry Boy, Boy, Leonard is not here to rescue you, like he did with Caster, we have a bunch of perfectionist who will bring no medals this year.Report Abuse
@MamlamboI rechecked my stats and found it to be 9 - 8 to athletics, U are very correct.
BUt what I also found is that the number of swimmers taken to olympics is always high, so their record of 8 medals is not enough.

I really feel for this man, i know the pain he is going through since i also went through the same pain 9 years ago in the same federation that he belongs to. After winning the National Champs with best time ever run in this country which is still standing in the youth categories I still did not make the final cut for the World Youth Championships, instead the guys who were 3rd and 4th in our race are the ones that were selected to go to represnt the country. Looking at the time i ran in this country, I was ranked 3rd in the world which was equivalent to the bronze medal, to make things worse the two guys selected did not make it to finals too. Thats why I did not see myself as an athlete in this current age and I am successfull and happy where i am. Tough Luck Simon Sh*t happens in this country.Report Abuse
He is not the fastest South African in history. In 1968 Paul Nash equaled the then world record of 10.00 seconds four times.Report Abuse

Five hundred years have passed since the devastating demon-led war tore apart the United States and nearly exterminated humankind. Those who escaped the carnage were led to sanctuary in an idyllic valley, its borders warded by powerful magic against the horrors beyond. But the cocoon of protective magic surrounding the valley has now vanished. When Sider Ament, the only surviving descendant of the Knights of the Word, detects unknown predators stalking the valley, he fears the worst. And when expert Trackers find two of their own gruesomely killed, there can be no doubt: The once safe haven has been made vulnerable to whatever still lurks in the outside wasteland. Together, Ament, the two young Trackers, and a daring Elf princess spearhead plans to defend their ancestral home. And in the thick of it all, the last wielder of the black staff and its awesome magic must find a successor to carry on the fight against the cresting new wave of evil.

Bearers of the Black Staff
BLACK ICE COATED EARTH FROZEN HARD BY NIGHT temperatures that had dropped below freezing, a thin skein of slickness that challenged the grip of his toughened- rawhide boot soles. Yet the Gray Man stepped with grace and ease across the treacherous smoothness, not oblivious to the danger so much as accustomed to it. He passed through the woods along the snow line close by the valley's rim, only slightly less transparent than the wraiths to which he was so often compared. Amid the dark of the trunks and limbs and the deep green of the conifer needles, he was another of night's shadows. Until you got close enough to realize he wasn't a figment of the imagination, but as substantial as the rumors that tracked him in whispers and long silences, and then he was something much more.
Through the night's slow retreat he passed, watching daybreak lighten the sky above the eastern rim of the valley, so far away it was little more than a hazy glow. He had been walking for several hours, his sleep ended early. Each day found him someplace else, and even though he followed the same route over and over, tracking the rim of the valley from mountain peak to barren ridge to escarpment and back again, he was never bothered by time or speed; only with order. It was given to him to navigate the heights from one mountain pass to another, one valley's passage to the next, always in search of an opening that led out—or in. The mists that had sealed the valley since the time of the Hawk had not yet receded, but that would change and it would do so in his lifetime....

Managing Uncertainty and Conflict in IT Project Portfolio Management
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article
Maximizing the outcome of IT project investments has been a major concern for years. Several approaches have been suggested one of them being Project Portfolio Management (PPM). Even though PPM offers valuable techniques for aligning IT project portfolios with organizational needs and maximizing the outcome of project portfolios, practitioners find it difficult to implement. Our research suggests one of the reasons being the fact that PPM builds upon classic rational ideals about decision-making in organizations that are hard to realize and in some aspects counterproductive for non-routine decision-making. Especially, we focus on the importance of incorporating mechanisms that deal with uncertainty and conflict during portfolio decision-making, and on the importance of identifying and understanding dysfunctional decision-making patterns as part of improving PPM practice. Reducing the reliance on classic rational decision-making ideals and incorporating other decision-making styles more aligned with decision-making practices in organizations might ease PPM implementation and improve the outcome of systematic PPM efforts.
The research is based upon a multisite case study from public sector organizations attempting to improve their PPM capabilities.

It rolled into the world in May of 1977. It's Friday night. The movie maybe reached your town in June. It parked itself at the drive-in movie theater before summer's end....
We begin, as in Jaws, with some anonymous young victims falling prey to the monster. They're cleaner-living than those kids on the beach; they are healthily biking along the highway when death calls. This is no amoral force of nature: the car is pure evil, threatening everyone in the town it visits. It especially wants the good ones, the young ones. Later, it will stalk a band of elementary school children. They will escape by standing on hallowed ground, where evil fears to tread. Long, sleek, and black, it haunts the roads, for the Forces of Darkness have incarnated in a George Barris custom car. Why a demonic force would assume the form of a customized vehicle and pick off people, one at a time, in an obscure village remains a mystery. Nor does the monster take on metaphoric significance, so please don't seek some deeper meaning. We have a driverless car. It's evil. It kills people. And it's attacking a small southwestern American town.
The highly unusual turn of events draws the attention of the local sheriff, Wade Parent (James Brolin), a hip guy with two little girls, Burt Reynolds hair, a 70s porn 'stache, and a motorcycle. His girlfriend (Kathleen Lloyd), a liberated, short-short wearing teacher from the local elementary school has been sleeping over, but for all her feisty attitude and liberated sexuality, she remains a wholesome mother-figure to her man's daughters. She's willing to stand up against anything that threatens children, even satanic automobiles. The members of this little family represent the high point of the film's acting. Brolin and Lloyd have chemistry and they give decent performances throughout. The little girls, played by Kim and Kyle Richards do a better job than many of the adult actors; both will have long-lasting careers.
Coincidentally, the town is about to hold their annual parade, which will presumably draw everyone out in the open. Our motorcycle-riding sheriff and his deputies represent the only defense. When a significant death occurs, their battle becomes personal. Differences must be put aside. The town redneck must work with Wade's Navajo deputy (the film features a few positive, non-stereotypical portrayals of Native people—still a rarity in films not expressly about Indians). Together and under the lead of the youthful sheriff, they shall stop the Car.
What follows borrows heavily from Jaws and Duel, sprayed with elements from The Exorcist. The result is entirely derivative, although combining those particular films represents a kind of originality.
The film features some decent stunt work, and fun chase scenes that only loosely observe the known laws of physics. Many of the scenes where the Car stalks its victims have been shot through a red filter, from the automobile's point-of-view. This does not work so well. When the Car hunts near Lauren's house, however, the director plays effectively on the fear one might have alone at night. More than any other, this scene demonstrates this movie's ability to transcend its idiotic premise.
For all its silliness, this is actually a fairly entertaining thriller that embodies another time. The sun is about to set on many local drive-ins. That film about the shark has inaugurated the Age of the Summer Blockbuster, while Straight-to-Video waits around the next bend. They made The Car for its moment and yet, unlike many lower-budget films from this time, it remains watchable. A sizable cult following recalls it fondly. It succeeds in being the sort of film a thirteen-year-old boy would've liked to make1, and if you watch it with the appropriate expectations, you likely will be entertained.
Written by Michael Butler, Dennis Shryack, and Lane Slate. Directed by Elliot Silverstein. The Car designed by George Barris Cast: James Brolin as Wade Parent Kathleen Lloyd as Lauren John Marley as Everett R.G. Armstrong as Amos Clements Elizabeth Thompson as Margie Eddie Little Sky as Denton
Bonus Seventies Movie Check-list: The Car
1. Though I suppose the thirteen-year-old boy would have added nudity and a few more fart jokes.

Hello to all VG fans again! I'm finally back on the forum after 3 months without internet access.
Several things have happened since I've been off. For starters, I just joined up with the local fire department to become a First Responder (and then get my firefighter training). I got voted in at the beginning of May. Also, we just had decoration where my mom is buried. She's been gone 2 1/2 years...(it sure seems longer, though. ) I also got to meet Andy Griggs on May 6th. He came to Blue Ridge, GA to do a concert, but was too sick to sing. (He could barely talk). However, he still hung around to do a meet and greet and I got an autograph and my picture with him. My nephew, Vance, will turn 2 on July 14th. Plus, we had a family reunion yesterday and I've got another 2 reunions next month, plus a cemetery decoration.
On top of everything, I'm trying to find a place in TN to move to. (My dad's family lives near Knoxville and Maryville, TN.) . My car is having several problems and I have yet to find a place.
Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!
Oh, well.....at least I still have my family and God's love.

HOLLYWOOD, FL -- Tired of waiting for the coals to heat up and then worrying about burning down your patio when you're done? Gas grills solve both problems while making outdoor cooking a breeze.
Gas grills are powered by removable propane tanks and bottles or they can be hooked up to a domestic natural gas source. Either way, they light and heat up quickly, burn cleanly, and cool down as soon as you turn off the fuel. Gone are the days of worrying whether the fire will be ready in time for dinner, if it will be hot enough to sear those expensive steaks, or if it will cool off in time for you to go to bed.
The BBQ Depot has a huge selection of both natural gas and propane grills to suit the cooking needs of everyone from the occasional hotdog griller to the fussiest outdoor chef. Whether it's a portable Weber Q-Series that's rugged enough for camping and tailgating with enough cooking area for a dozen or more hamburgers, or a top-of-line stainless built-in like the six-burner Echelon Diamond series, The BBQ Depot has the grill for you.
The hot topic in grilling lately is infrared technology. Infrared grills heat up in just three minutes and cook twice as fast as traditional burners. They heat the food directly, making them more efficient, even in cold weather. You can get a very intense heat comparable to the hottest charcoal fire to sear meats to perfection and to control the cook even for delicate items such as fish with rapid response to your settings that makes infrared grilling extremely energy-efficient.
Boating and camping enthusiasts have become big fans of the Solaire Infrared Go Anywhere Portable Gas Grill. Built of 316 stainless steel, its 14,000 BTU burner and 155 square inch cooking surface bring the benefits of infrared cooking to a truly portable grill. It has a V-shaped grate that catches drippings to both enhance flavor and reduce flare-ups. It comes with a vinyl carrying bag that has three outside pockets for propane bottles. And at less than twenty pounds, it's easy to take along.
The gourmet chef in your back yard will flip more than burgers over the Solaire 27-Inch Deluxe Built-In All Infrared Natural Gas Grill. It has two main infrared burners that crank out a whopping 24,000 BTUs per hour over a 473-inch total grilling area and a rapid-start electronic ignition to get it going. Its commercial-grade 18-8 stainless construction has hand-polished mirror-finish accents and a double-skin stay-cool hood. It comes with a rotisserie and a stainless steel warming rack to make sure your meal is something to be proud of.
The BBQ Depot has a great selection of accessories for your grill, too. We have rotisseries to roast a chicken to perfection, baskets to hold small items like vegetables or keep fish from sticking to the grill, and smokers to infuse your food with the lip-smacking aromas of applewood, hickory and mesquite. Take a few minutes to look around our web site and explore all the ways The BBQ Depot has to free you from the tyranny of charcoal and get you cooking with gas!

SIR,-Parents' Associations, to combat the threat to our Catholic Schools. are being formed in
every -diocese throughout the country. What is being done by the Catholic men and women in His Majesty's Forces, at home and abroad? Many of them are married and have children, and they are disturbed by this threat to the Catholic schools. the more so as they are powerless to take any action themselves.
At a meeting on this station, the proposals set forth in the Government's White Paper on Education were discussed. Fourteen airmen and airwomen were of the opinion that the Government should not attempt to pass any Education Bill, which affects their children so vitally, while they are away from their homes and families, fighting for King and country. Further, that the many Catholics at prescot in His Majesty's Forces should be given a chance to make their voices heard and their. wishes known. How can this be done? They cannot take any action themselves, nor can their chaplains, Yet surely they have a right to be heard. This is not a political issue. It is one that affects the faith of their children. and the State cannot, and must not be allowed to, usurp the rights of parents in this matter.

"They're Waiting... She's Waiting"
By Megan Parker
She came to the orphanage when she was an infant. Small, healthy, and beautiful. It wasn't until she was around 5 or 6 months and started missing developmental milestones that concerns were raised. By her first birthday it was apparent. She had cerebral palsy.
She is three years old now and has spent her years laying on a mat or sitting in a chair. The workers at the orphanage mush her food up especially for her and the staff does their best to accommodate her, but there just aren't enough resources. She looks out at the children playing around her day after day, stuck in her chair. She eats mushed up food while the other kids down crackers, potatoes, and rice. She uses her cries and whines to communicate her discomfort and pain. When she reaches the age of five she will age out of her current orphanage.
She is waiting...
He is eight and has been given special permission to remain at the orphanage because he is autistic and there is no other place to send him. When he was a toddler his father brought him to the orphanage, un-aware of his condition. Years later his father returned for him, but when he saw his son and the nurse explained his limitations the father left. The boy spends his days running around eating trash, throwing books on the floor, and laughing his infectious laugh. His joy lights up a room and his pure spirit draws you to him.
But he is too big for the orphanage. His behavior gets worse each day and he gets bigger and harder to control. There just aren't the resources to give him the one on one attention he so desperately needs.
He is waiting...
He was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). His condition makes him slower than the other kids and affects his ability to listen and follow directions. He has always been one of the hardest kids at the orphanage to control. Yet his heart is full. His capacity to love would put an adult heart to shame. He loves to learn and pushes through when his FAS tries to fight against it. He is a fighter.
He is six years old now and has watched all of his friends go to forever families. The boys and girls he has grown up with have slowly one by one said goodbye to him and traveled away in the arms of loving moms and dads. He sits back and waits for his day to come. When the last of his group leaves, he wonders if it ever will.
He is waiting...
Emily went to Uganda for the first time in 2007. She fell in love, but more specifically she fell in love with the children of Uganda who struggle with special needs. A vision grew in her heart to open a home for them. A home that would provide the therapy, equipment, healthcare, love, and one on one attention they need. In the fall of 2009 doors started opening for her to make her dream a reality. She partnered with her friend Emily (I know confusing right?) and they began planning and preparing for their home. The paper work has been completed, the home has been chosen, and one plane ticket has been purchased.
Their home, Ekisa, still needs funding before Emily can get on a plane and bring these children to a new home. Everything is set and ready to go except for this.
She is waiting...

Have you ever bought those packs of discount movie tickets at Costco? They are a way to get movie tickets at $7.75 instead of $10 each. Unfortunately, you might have to stand in line five times to use them. First, you need to buy the cardboard ticket coupon placeholder. |
Costco has some of the longest lines I ever stand in. They are always long and Costco doesn't offer an express lane for people who are just buying a few things. I believe they maintain long lines because they don't want you to just stop by to pick up a few things. They want dedicated shoppers.
The second line is at the "cage", where, when it is your turn, you exchange your cardboard ticket coupon placeholder with actual movie coupons. Here they check your receipt, take your cardboard and give you your actual movie ticket coupons. |
The third line is at the Costco exit. Here you must wait in line to have your cart items checked against your reciept. This helps prevent customers from joining forces with criminal cashiers in a theft scheme. If they don't check your receipt, your cashier could have boxed up two bottles of Patron while only charging you for one. This exit line has particularly tragic consequences for me, because I consistantly lose my paper reciept in the 45 feet between the cashiers and the exit. |
Finally out of Costco, you are ready to wait in the fourth line, at the theatre box office. When you reach the front of this line you'll exchange your movie ticket coupons with real movie tickets to the film of your choice. |
Then its time for line number five. Waiting to get into the theatre itself. This is a good line. The longer the theatre line, the more full the theatre is going to be and the more fun the film experience is going to be (Tyler Perry fans, apprentice wizards, jedifarians or twihards notwithstanding). Enjoy the movie! You earned it! |

Oh what a wonderful weeks it's been! Two of my most beloved bloggers got Freshly Pressed!
And it couldn't have happened to two of the very nicest people on the internet! They are both barrels of fun, and if you haven't had the pleasure of following along with them as they cleverly navigate through the www (Wacky Waters of Wisdom) –then get your sorry keyboard over their right now!
And because it's Friday morning, that means it's time to start greasing the wheels of the Lazymobile! What better way to do that than to be lazy and post something from the archives of this blog. Perhaps, Dear Reader, you might enjoy:
Oh So Precious Pet Stories
Oh Snitz!
Our beloved and precious Snitz was a vivacious goldfish with volumes of get up and go and a heart as big as all get out. Her high-spirited antics and fuzzy little carbonated smile would keep us all aglow through many a hard time.
That is why when our cat, Fritz, knocked over Snitz's water and played with Snitz until she was just a limp little reminder of better days, we rushed right out and bought another goldfish.
And even though we have another vivacious goldfish with volumes of get up and go and a heart as big as all get out, we did learn a good lesson.
You really can't tell one goldfish from another.
A Skunk by Any Other Name
I named my pet skunk Trouble because I could smell him a mile away.
At first I thought it would be cool to name him Maltese in memory of my pet falcon. But then I thought there really wasn't much similarity between my pet falcon and my pet skunk except they both came running when I called "here kitty, kitty."
I'll never forget the day I found Trouble in the park. There was something in his air and manner of walking . . . I knew he had to be mine. I quickly snatched him up and ran down the path and into the street where I was hit by a bus.
Trouble flew out of my arms and landed 5,280 feet away and that's when I noticed that even though all my arms and legs were broken, I could still smell Trouble. So I guess my choice of names was right on!
Oh Danny Boy
I know it has been said that a hamster by any other name would be a rodent and there was a time when I would have agreed with that. That is until Danny saved my life. I was hiking in the Rockies at the time. Of course, I took Danny along because he was a hunting hamster with papers.
I had just sat down to catch my breath when I saw a coiled rattler only inches from Danny and me.
Then, in the blink of an eye, it was just the rattler and me. It seems a hawk had swooped down and got poor Danny. As I watched him dangle from the hawk's powerful talons, I stood up to give Danny a farewell salute.
Just then the rattler bit me. And that's when Danny . . . wait a minute . . . well, never mind about the part where I said Danny saved my life.
Until next time . . . I love you

Johnny Mercer
Johnny Mercer
Johnny Mercer's main claim to immortality is his incredible songwriting output, penning the lyrics or music and lyrics to roughly 1,500 songs. Marked by a sophisticated, occasionally whimsical mastery of language and rhymes, many of Mercer's songs have become standards regularly covered by jazz artists. Yet he was also a successful singer, with a relaxed, Southern-accented, jazzy, rhythmically agile delivery that resulted in several major hits in the 1940s. At first, he was torn between acting and songwriting, but having failed to land a part in Garrick Gaities in 1930, he ended up writing his first hit, "Out of Breath, Scared to Death of You," for the show. His first charted songwriting hit was Ted Lewis' 1933 recording of "Lazybones." By 1938, he was recording duets with Bing Crosby for Decca and the following year, he was on Benny Goodman's Camel Cavalcade radio program as a featured singer. In 1942, he, Glenn Wallichs, and Buddy DeSylva founded Capitol Records, which would eventually become an industry behemoth, and Mercer reeled off a string of hits for his label, including "Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe," "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive," "Candy," and "Personality." "Atchison" is an especially good example of his flip, catchy, vocal style. While running Capitol, Mercer the talent scout attracted the likes of Nat King Cole, Stan Kenton, Jo Stafford, Peggy Lee, and Margaret Whiting to the label, where they had their greatest successes. Among Mercer's most durable lyrics -- a highly abbreviated list -- are those for "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)," "Blues in the Night," "Come Rain or Come Shine," "My Shining Hour," and "Early Autumn," and his many collaborators have included Harold Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington, Jerome Kern, Gordon Jenkins, and Harry Warren. He also contributed to the scores of seven Broadway musicals and films. Following an album with Bobby Darin and collaborations with Henry Mancini in the early '60s, Mercer's career slowed down under the onslaught of rock & roll, but time has since reconfirmed his status as an American popular music giant. ~ Richard S.

Sarah A. Helminski Received 11/14/01
The amount of film that I used while in India was senseless; every image that I'd like to remember is indelibly engraved on my mind. I need not have taken even one single picture, the Technicolor that those memories are saved in can be recalled at any moment- they are so strong that I don't even need to close my eyes to see every detail. |
The intensity of those snapshots in my mind- in fact the intensity of India- is so strong that every experience that I had prior to my visit over seas seems duller, not as real, like the difference between between watching Mr. Ed and an IMAX movie. Our group's affectionate term for this in-your-face character of the country was "extreme India." All the while I was in Delhi, I felt like a child at a carnival, there was so much to take in, I felt dizzy. I don't want to give the false impression that every aspect of the experience was eye candy, however. I grew as a person as well. By becoming familiar with social intricacies of the Indian society I began to gain a little bit of perspective of myself and how and why I fit into my niches in the American culture. Agra Fort, Agra |
Visiting India opened up my mind to possibilities that I had never even considered. On a less heady note, all of the sites that we saw were amazing. I don't think anyone of us had ever considered that seeing/touching/being at the Taj Mahal was ever going to be an option for us in this life. I still get goosebumps when thinking about the majesty of the Golden Temple. (I can't begin to do justice to my experience there- my sense recall of the Golden Temple is tied up in the intense emotions that I felt, surrounded by all of those people united by One Belief, the metallic glow, the warmth of the spiritual energy gathered there.) |
And I got to know the pleasure of carrying a monkey stick and the Ubermonkey feeling that it brings. Rose petal ice cream and goat products for dinner. I'll let those be my final (unfinished) thoughts; there is so much more that I could say, but life is better when lived as a first hand experience. |
With Shaun Malhotra, basking in the sun at the Agra Fort.

I was in the loft of a building - all open space (open beams, ductwork, windows high up). It was dark outside - stormy - rain battering at the windows. But inside there was a pool of light cast by those hanging metal lamps. One of them hung directly over a large trestle table - the table all battered and scarred.
Across the table were strewn all sorts of papers - maps mostly, charts, graphs. One particular map took precedence - it was laid out on top of all the others and a man - his face hidden in the shadows cast by the angle of the hanging lamp, was standing on the other side of the table, bent over the map. He was tall - his hands were large, with long graceful fingers, and he was tracing barely discernable indentations in the map with his fingers (like the lines that you get on the paper below when you write on the paper above it with a sharp pencil or ball-point pen). The map - seen from above - was a map of New York City - specifically Manhattan.
"They're traveling by water." He said, and it was a statement. His fingers touched the deepest of the indentations, where line upon line had been traced, the lines followed the rivers and water currents around and through the island.
"you do know that it's raining?" said a voice from somewhere else in the room - someone in the shadows that I couldn't see.
"That will just speed it up I'm afraid" said the man.
He looked up at me - and I could feel the intensity of his eyes, but still couldn't make out the features of his face.
"You're going to have to get out of the city." He said in a no-nonsense voice. "And you're going to have to avoid the rain as much as possible."
"Have you seen the traffic?" I asked, non-plussed. "The whole city is gridlocked - they're evacuating the island. No one's going anywhere for a while."
"You don't have a choice," he said matter-of-factly. "You have to get out of here, we can't take the chance of you being here when all hell breaks loose. When you get out of the city, you're going to need to go here" he indicated a spot on the map with a long finger, then handed me a scrap of paper with an address on it. "Once you get there you'll find that everything has been provided for the next step in your trip."
"All right then," I said, a sinking sensation in my stomach. "I'll do my best. I'll head back to my apartment now, pack up a few things, then join the queue."
The man on the other side of the table gave me a curt nod, then, as I turned to go said, "Stephanie, would you mind giving _____(I can't remember the man's name) a ride to Rosita's?" (somehow I knew that Rosita's was a deli not too far from my apartment).
I was annoyed - Rosita's was out of my way, but I said "sure, I can do that".
So I got in the car, with the second man, he was blonde, or sandy-haired, I can't remember specifics about his face, but he was very quiet. Polite, but not prone to talk.
"I really appreciate this," he said as we pulled out into traffic, and we chatted a bit as we drove, but then things started to get odd, there were police baracades everywhere, and every time I thought I was getting closer to Rosita's, they would re-direct us down a different road, all the time I was getting farther and farther away from both Rosita's and my apartment.
Finally with astonishment I realized as we crossed a bridge that we'd been shunted right out of the city, and were in one of the neighborhoods on the other side.
"That was weird" said my passenger, shaking his head. "Look! We're almost exactly at that address he gave you." And so we were. But I was PISSED! Now I was going to have to negotiate traffic back into the city to get my things - my cat and canary particularly (for some reason - even though I have three cats, there was only one cat I knew was in my apartment, and that was my black and white Sarek cat), and I'd brought nothing with me, no clothes, no papers, not my passport, none of the things I'd been planning on packing.
When we reached the address I decided to go upstairs just long enough to use ther restroom, then run back and get my things.
"Hon, you can't leave" said the owner of the apartment, this one was dark-haired (I can't remember his face either). "The situation in the city is deteriorating rapidly."
"But my CAT is back there!" I nearly wailed. "He's waiting for his supper! If I don't go back I've abandoned him!"
"Don't you understand? It's too dangerous! If you go back - chances are you won't make it out alive!"
But I was determined that I was going to go back - Sarek was my responsibility after all! I'd agreed to watch him for my daughter - I COULDN'T leave him.
Just as I was about to walk out the door, a woman with short red hair, dripping from the rain walked into the apartment.
"it's raining" she said by way of greeting. a friend of the apartment owner tossed her a towel, which she used to dry herself off. "It's spreading fast," she said, exchanigng a look with the apartment owner, "we need to get her out of here as soon as possible."
"No," I said, shaking my head. "I have to go back for my cat."
"Honey, there is nothing you can do for Sarek now," she said, then opened a bag that she'd brought in with her, and out of it popped my calico cat Bellatrix (who for some reason I hadn't been worried about in the dream). Bellatrix made a beeline for me and climbed into my arms, purring like a mottor boat and butting me in the chin with her head.
"I knew I was coming down, and I knew you'd be here, so I decided to bring her with me," said the woman grinning at me, "she hasn't been happy without you. I'm sorry about Sarek," she said seriously, "but you need to focus now on what needs to be done."
And with that I woke up.

Tarra White - hot massage
Added: January 22, 2012
There are few things more sensuous… and satisfying… than a good massage - especially one with a happy ending! It's clear that Tarra is enjoying herself, but she wants more and has no trouble leading Angelo's hand to where she really wants it… her beautiful pussy. The oil sure does help as she guides his hand and keeps it where she wants it. She really needs this and Angelo is more than happy to oblige her… something Tarra will be very grateful for very soon. Thankfully for her - and for us - she wasn't afraid to let him know what really needed massaging. : ) Come in and see Tarra get her hot massage… and her happy ending. Enjoy!
