Hi loves,
Lately I have been buying a lot of good stuff. I just did an order on this musthave item from Tom Ford. I don't own brown-toned sunnies. I always tend to lean on black or dark blue. So I thought that this is a good item for my collection. What do you think? What kind of shades do you like? I really like the pilot and the catframed sunnies.
Talk to you soon!

Obladi, Oblada, Obaidposted by The Vidiot @ 6:12 PM Permalink Life goes on ... or does it?
Saudi will intervene in Iraq if U.S. withdraws: aideThe whole 'bring peace and democracy' to the Middle East is an even bigger lie than Saddam's WMDs.
Using money, weapons or its oil power, Saudi Arabia will intervene to prevent Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias from massacring Iraqi Sunni Muslims once the United States begins pulling out of Iraq, a security adviser to the Saudi government said on Wednesday.
"To be sure, Saudi engagement in Iraq carries great risks -- it could spark a regional war. So be it: The consequences of inaction are far worse," Obaid said.
Vice President Dick Cheney held talks with Saudi King Abdullah in Riyadh on Saturday. Details were not disclosed.
Obaid listed three options being considered by the Saudi government:
- providing "Sunni military leaders (primarily ex-Baathist members of the former Iraqi officer corps, who make up the backbone of the insurgency) with the same types of assistance", including funding and arms.
- establishing new Sunni brigades to combat the Iranian-backed militias;
- or the Saudi king "may decide to strangle Iranian funding of the militias through oil policy. If Saudi Arabia boosted production and cut the price of oil in half ... it would be devastating to Iran ... The result would be to limit Tehran's ability to continue funneling hundreds of millions each year to Shi'ite militias in Iraq and elsewhere."
So Bush, (the Chimperor), is meeting with Abdullah, (the King), (after being stiffed by the elected leader of Iraq, al-Maliki), to discuss 'democracy' in the middle east.
Irony abounds. Freedom doesn't. And Death never takes a holiday.

How Australian Forex Brokers Help You Learn Trading0
This article looks at the ways that Australian forex brokers help you learn about the market.
There are a number of different ways that Australian forex brokers are able to help you learn forex trading. When you look at the Australian forex brokers you should consider which ones are going to help you learn trading the most. You have to consider this in terms of the experience that you have of the market. You should also consider what the different ways that Australian forex brokers can help you learn trading. You should also look at the drawbacks that come with the use of forex brokers for this.
The Level of Experience You Have
The level of experience you have will impact the way that forex brokers will be able to help you learn about trading. A new trader will need to use a broker in a different way to a more experienced trader. This is due not only to the practical experience that the trader will have, but the theoretical knowledge as well.
The Drawbacks of Using Australian Forex Brokers
When you learn about the market and how you trade you should not use brokers as your first step. The forex brokers will not offer you the basic information that you need to know about the market. This knowledge can only come from forex training. You should only use forex brokers to help with your trading after you have completed forex training. If you don't then you are going to be faced with losses on the market.
The Way New Traders Use Brokers
If you are a new trader you have to consider how you can use the brokers to learn about the market. All new traders need to look at the use of a demo account. The demo account is the best way to learn about the practical aspects of trading. Demo accounts are a simulation of the market where you are able to trade as you would on a live account without the risks that are involved with live trading.
The demo account allows you to experience the fast-paced nature of the market. You will also be able to test your trading strategy and plan. This teaches you what will work and what will not work at different times on the market. This is something that you cannot fully learn when you go through forex training.
The Use of the Micro and Mini Accounts
Once you have used the demo account you will want to move to the live market. If you are a more experienced trader then you are going to be using a micro or mini account when you change brokers to determine what you are going to do. The micro and mini accounts are the best solution that forex brokers have to offer for these steps.
New traders should use the micro and mini accounts to transition from demo account to live trading. These accounts offer you a lower risk level than the standard account. This is important when you first trade on the forex market because of the emotions that you will be faced with. Emotions are something that demo accounts cannot prepare you for.

Seal of approval
What you see above is one of James Thurber's most famous drawings. (He called them drawings, not cartoons.) Why so famous? It's not exactly a knee-slapper. It appeals rather, I suppose, to something in us that is sardonic, oblique.
It clearly fits in with Thurber's body of work on the taut relations between men and women. This poor fellow who hears (or thinks he hears) a seal bark is your typical Thurberesque milquetoast, Mr. Mitty harassed by Mrs. Mitty. The drawing is a comment on the mysteries of matrimony by someone who never quite figured out what women want.
But the cartoon raises some philosophical questions (if you will allow me to be sardonic and oblique):
1. Did he hear a seal bark?
2. Did he imagine it?
3. If he did hear a seal bark, why didn't she?
4. Is there a seal?
But of course there's a seal, I hear you say; it's right there over the bed. Well, maybe yes, maybe no. The fact that the seal looks a little bit like the fellow who heard it bark strikes me as suspicious. What we imagine to be true usually looks a bit like what we are already familiar with.
I believe I mentioned here once before a paper by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman in the September 27, 1974, issue of Science on the cognitive pitfalls of human thinking. The authors studied three kinds of bias:
1. "Anchoring," where a person overvalues the first data he or she encounters;
2. "Availability," where recent or dramatic cases come to mind and so skew one's thinking;
3. "Attribution," where stereotypes prejudice thinking so conclusions arise not from data but from preconceptions.
The current political debates in the U.S., for example, are not debates at all. Data never enters into it. We talk past each other. Neither side can grasp what could possibly motivate the other side to believe what they do. If women come from Venus and men come from Mars (as Thurber might concur), then Democrats come from Mercury and Republicans come from Pluto.
I espouse opinions here. The internet is chock-a-block with opinions. Everyone, it seems, has heard a seal bark.

Marriage before Love?
Marriage before love? Who thinks that question is ridiculous? How can one get married without falling in love?
Boy and girl meet, they date for a while, boy asks girl for her hand in marriage, girl says yes, they get married and "live happily ever after". Whether ever after is a few weeks, few months or for a few years depends on many factors. This is generally how a relationship grows, do you not agree?
However, there are three different ways to get to "live happily ever after" – love, arranged or semi-arranged marriages. Today I'm not going to discuss love marriages, you see versions of that concept in movies all the time; I will talk about arranged and semi-arranged marriages. And what better marriages than Indian marriages.
Let's begin with arranged marriages:Many moons ago, roughly 1902, arranged marriages were very common in India. Marriages generally happened for economical reasons. Women did not work and hence would not be able to survive on their own. Men wanted children for either farming reasons or to allow their names to carry forth for the next generation.
It was convenient for the parents to look for a suitable match for their child. Now if you were a girl, you only studied till grade 5-6 like my grandmother or grade 10 like some of my aunts. Once you hit 14-15, time to look for the groom.
My grandmother's sister got married at 16, when it was legal. My grandmother at 19 and my mother got married at 20. The parents would ask their relatives and friends if they knew anyone suitable for their son/daughter. What is suitable?
Groom: Someone who owns a farm, works or has his business. Want someone who is from a good family background.
Bride: Someone who can cook and is from a good family background.
Usually someone knew someone and you would have a middle man (also known as aunties) who would know both the families. This is why and how marriages took place.
But as in all traditions and rituals, it carried on to the present and people forgot why arranged marriages began in the first place and if they are even needed today.
Now depending on the family you either have arranged or semi-arranged marriages.
There are families, like mine, that allow love marriages, but you still involve families. Three of my cousins had love marriages, but families knew each other from a few months into the relationship. They all got married between the ages of 25-27.
Marriages still take place for economical reasons, but it has slightly become more complicated.
Let me explain:
India has grown to over 1.1 billion people and they all no longer are in India alone. You have Indians dispersed everywhere in the world. Take me who is in Arnprior and believe me not many people know Arnprior even exists. Can you imagine?
So, for example, my mother can not ask our relatives to look for a match for me because would an Indian guy from India be able to understand me? – Of course not – he has an illusion of what western culture is like, but hasn't lived in it.
Hence, the arranged marriage system works for those whose relatives all live in or around the same city/country. For 'singles' like me, you need a global network because I don't have many family & friends here. What better global network that the internet? You knew I couldn't leave technology out, didn't you?
Here is the list: Shaadi.com; Shadi.ca; JeevanSathi.com; BharatMatrimony.com.
These are equal to sites like match.com, lavalifes, enetworks.com etc. Shaadi.com is the best one. Now the "suitable" match definition has expanded. Within these websites you create resumes:
Groom/Bride: skin color (dark, fair, fairer), education, career, caste, hobbies/interests, marital status (divorced, widow, single), children, smoker, drinker etc.
Whether the family background is good or not is not even looked at so deeply. The middle man/auntie is the website, parents are slightly involved unless they are the ones looking and there is a time period of either a few weeks or months where the potential groom and bride are courting.
You begin by emailing and sending each other your resume and photograph. Then you meet for coffee and exchange phone numbers. If things are still going well, you move onto several dates (mostly 3-4 before parents start asking whether it's a yes or no). You then have parents meet, get engaged and lastly prepare for your marriage.
The process could last as little as 3 months or as long as few years. It depends on your communication skills and on how well you know what type of person you want to marry. This is the semi-arranged concept of marriages.
India is becoming more westernized now-a-days so you hear more about love marriages, but age 25 is still considered perfect for marriage. Afterwards everyone starts worrying that you are getting too old. Did you notice that I haven't even spoken about the actual wedding? We haven't even gotten to those steps yet.
The book is available on Amazon. "From The Frying Pan To The Jacuzzi, Gourmet Recipes For A Gourmet Relationship."
How could you have no comments? Such an interesting and relevant blog. I just finished writing a book, "From The Frying Pan To The Jacuzzi, Gourmet Recipes For A Gourmet Relationship" and there is a section on prearranged marriages and particularly those prearranged in dot com heaven! I think you have a wonderfully INFORMATIVE and insightful blog. Thanks for sharing with us.

It's 9:30 AM on a Saturday morning and hundreds of people are waiting in line to get into Ike's bar. EDDIE (34) can't believe his luck. A week before, hardly anyone wanted to darken his door. And then a religious icon behind the bar seemed to start weeping. Is it truly a miracle? Or only a cynical attempt by Ike to keep his bar afloat? It doesn't matter; cash has been pouring in and people are believing. As the crowd grows, and the resulting shrine begins to attract people looking for all sorts of changes in their lives, Ike and the statue vanish.
Eddie's disappearance comes on the heels of yet another encounter with his dead beat brother, the bioligical father to Eddie's daughter. We follow Eddie's trail, which at first leads to a string of other "miracles" attributed to the icon: people are reunited, fences are mended. But those with darker motivations have also been drawn to the icon. Did Ike run afoul of someone who desired it for nefarious reasons? Did a neighborhood money launderer believe the attention surrounding the icon was undermining his clandestine business? Or was something even darker at play behind Eddie's disappearance? As our agents delve further into the mystery, they contemplate their own deepest wishes.

Butler judge orders deputy sheriff to be posted in county commissioners office
Relations among the Butler County commissioners have so deteriorated that a judge has ordered a deputy sheriff to provide security in the commissioners' office, which one political observer called an unprecedented move.
"I've heard commissioners demean each other, but I've never heard you had to call in an officer of the law to make sure the county commissioners don't engage in something that might be unlawful towards each other," said Moe Coleman, a longtime University of Pittsburgh social and political scientist. "That's pretty rough."
President Judge Thomas Doerr said that he's received reports of minority Commissioner James Eckstein, a Democrat, shouting at Republican commissioners Bill McCarrier and A. Dale Pinkerton and their staffs. Also, he said, commissioners' meetings have become more contentious, and he's watched tapes of the meetings showing verbal battles between Eckstein and the public.
"The public debates have become much more heated," Doerr said. "It's come to the point where I believe it could potentially lead to a breach of the peace."
Eckstein, who was attending a County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania conference in Hershey, laughed when told Tuesday about Doerr's court order.
"What, do they think I'm going to attack Dale?" Eckstein said. "This is like Kiddie Land. They're doing this because they can't think of anything else to do to me."
Eckstein said he shouted at McCarrier within the last several days. He said McCarrier is shutting him out of the process to pick a new county solicitor. In an email obtained by the Tribune-Review, Eckstein said he wanted his administrative assistant, Margaret Abersold, involved in the selection process, but McCarrier refused.
"I asked him, 'What will you do if I come to the (selection committee) meeting?' " Eckstein said.
Doerr said the commissioners did not ask him for security and that he did not consult them before issuing his order late Monday.
McCarrier said Doerr told him a couple of weeks ago that he "feared for the commissioners' safety, and my reply was, 'I appreciate your concern.' "
Controller Jack McMillin said he's never seen an order like Doerr's in his 23 years in county government.
"You can cut the tension in that office with a knife," McMillin said.
Several employees within the office declined comment.
Longtime solicitor Julie Graham and Bill O'Donnell, the former county chief clerk/director of administration, each cited difficulties within county government since Eckstein took office in January as a reason for their retirements.
Pinkerton sued Eckstein this summer, accusing him of falsely spreading the rumor that Pinkerton had awarded a raise to the county personnel director in exchange for her state trooper husband fixing a drunken driving arrest — an arrest that Pinkerton said never happened.
Pinkerton said Doerr didn't consult with him.
"Personally, I don't feel it's necessary, but it certainly makes my wife (Millie) feel better," Pinkerton said.
In October, the executive committee of the Butler County Democratic Party censured Eckstein, saying he ignored a fire drill in the government building.
In September McCarrier threatened to have Eckstein removed from a public meeting by a deputy sheriff because Eckstein had signed up to speak as a member of the public but argued he didn't have to hold to the three-minute time limit set for such speakers because he was a commissioner.
"The manner of election of commissioners sets up a certain dynamic contention" of majority and minority commissioners, said Douglas Hill, executive director of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania. "We've had counties where there are closely held beliefs, and differences arise and personalities figure in to that, as well."
Doerr, a registered Republican, said the three county commissioners could vote for him to reconsider his order. He said the sheriff should implement it as soon as possible, hoping for next week.
Sheriff Michael Slupe said he likely will ask the county salary board next week for at least one additional deputy. Slupe said his deputies aren't regularly stationed inside any other county offices.

text: Hi ! I have a Linksys router that sometime lose the WAN. When the problem happens, everything seems normal, the internal LAN ports are working just well, but no way to access to the WAN. The only thing that works is the reboot (or unplug/plug in the power supply). Releasing the DHCP and renewing the DHCP is not working. The problem happens totally random. Can happens two or three times in a row, in less than two hours or the router can run for all the day without problems. It seems not related to specific applications/use of the connection. I understand nobody can tell me what the problem is, but maybe somebody can help me to find a way to identify the problem. I wrote to the Linksys guys but so far no real help. The router is a RT41-BU, firmware 1.01.0 (already flashed a couple of times), connected to a cable modem (Comcast) via "automatic DHCP" mode. Internal DHCP disabled, few ports for some services enabled (like 22, 2401, ecc.). Other routers does not present the problem in the same configuration. Thanks for any possible help C'ya Steve

Distriktssköterskans möte med föräldrar som ställer sig tveksamma till MPR-vaccination
Vaccination as a part of the preventative public health project has for many years been one of the important tasks of the children's health care. The vaccination program has been adjusted to current research and the health situation in the country. Having their children vaccinated is not something obvious for all parents, though. Especially the vaccination against measles, whooping cough and German measles have been questioned. The purpose of this literature study was to investigate the reasons for the resistance to vaccinate and to illuminate the security creating advice of the nurse at the public health centre. The study showed that there were varying ways to look at the MPR-vaccination among the parents. It could be considered as something injuring while childhood illnesses were sometimes considered as something positive. The social circumstances and a lack of trust were also factors that influenced the parents. It was also obvious that the parents need a district nurse that is a good listener and who can give advice individually and also give information that creates security. This information consists of telling the parents that the MPR-vaccine does not cause autism or chronic intestine disease. Furthermore, there is a need to inform of the illnesses and their risks. This information is objectively given by a well informed nurse, whose task it is to work for a vaccination program with the widest coverage possible.

During the M.B.A. gold rush of the past three decades, the
Specifically, Yale "lost $15 to $20 million over the last 15 years," says Edward Snyder, the new dean of the Yale School of Management. It remained small (400 students), maintained an unusually low student-to-faculty ratio of 8 to 1 (most top schools are closer to 20 to 1) and offered only limited versions of some of its industry's most lucrative products (like part-time and executive M.B.A.'s). Most significantly it developed a reputation as a bastion of socially minded do-gooders who were less focused on maximizing profit. According to Bloomberg Businessweek's latest rankings of the top M.B.A. programs, Yale placed 21st, right behind
Snyder has become the top hired gun in the business of business schools. An academic economist by trade, he built his reputation through successful stints as a deputy dean at the
Successful business schools have become major businesses themselves, but as I spoke to Snyder, I realized that the ones that bring in the most money might be doing the least for the global economy. It wasn't always this way. In the early 1950s, my grandfather paid around $800 a year to attend Harvard Business School. The course work gave him some practical skills that helped him move up from assistant foreman to full foreman at the same machine-tool company. These days, though, the value of your M.B.A. is as much symbolic as practical. With increased global competition, the real money is in résumé polishing and status, not supply-chain management. Harvard Business School now costs about $120,000, which, after taking into account room and board and two years of lost wages, comes to around $400,000 in real cost. This year, more than 10,000 people applied for fewer than 900 slots.
Harvard and the other top schools can charge their students (or customers, really) a huge markup for the same reason that
It is important to remember, though, that the basic tools of business are commodities. There are countless courses, books and on-the-job programs that teach the proper rules of accounting, the best practices for developing strategy and the key components of a business plan. Harvard's basic accounting course might be a bit better than, say, the
Placing a value on intangibles is inherently squishy, but the Bloomberg Businessweek rankings have tried to cut through the murkiness by ranking the top M.B.A. programs two ways. Its prestige-and-overall-quality ranking garners the expected results (Chicago, Harvard, Stanford, and so forth). But its best-value-for-money calculation, which ranks the schools based on a ratio of debt and earnings for recent graduates, finds that the costs of the top-flight schools eat away most of their value. Graduates of elite business schools, the survey found, make an average salary of $160,000 one year out of school. In 20 years, they averaged around $200,000 a year. That's a lot of money, but probably nowhere near what many were expecting. Graduates were also likely to be heavily in debt and trying to get by in expensive cities. On the other hand, graduates of Ourso at L.S.U., the poll's top-ranked value school, earned about $60,000 a year on average, but they were more likely to live in lower-cost regions and less likely to be in debt.
Snyder's growth plan for Yale is certainly not to offer the best value for money. He sees Yale as the one second-tier school with a real shot at making it to the top. But as I sat in Snyder's large office in an old mansion in
The most disruptive development in the business world right now is that billions of people in
Snyder surprised me by saying that he agrees (sort of). Offering commoditized business-education technology can help the world's poor. But, he said, elite multinationals face unique problems that require elite training. He recently returned from China, where almost all of the nation's 73 Fortune 500 companies are in commodities businesses. Elite schools, he said, need to teach skills that can help China move beyond commodities and create global brands. "Who is going to solve that?" he asked. "It takes pretty big insights and big execution. There's a role for the top business schools in solving problems like that."
As I left Snyder's office and walked out into Yale's verdant campus, I remembered that he has his own global brand to worry about. Yale, unlike the commodity programs, can't offer all of its classes free and build its prestige. High-end and mass business education probably will continue to exist side by side, but the question is what their relationship will be. High-end restaurants were once an elitist pleasure, but they undoubtedly influenced the organic foods that we now buy everywhere, from supermarkets to fast-food chains and lunch trucks. In the food industry, unlike many luxury-goods businesses, the high- and low-end businesses have conspired to offer the best possible stuff to the masses. It would make a great business-school case study.
This being business school, Edward Snyder, the new dean of the Yale School of Management, has a five-step plan for how to turn any middling institution into a leader in the field.
1. Start by focusing on the sectors where the school has strong relationships and build from there. Or, as Snyder says, ''Give up the undifferentiated, multi-brass-ring strategy of best recruiters, best students, best facilities, blah, blah, blah.''
2. Embrace a mix of faculty, particularly those with real-world experience. ''You'll still want some strong, fast-ball-discipline types in areas like economics, finance and psychology to teach how markets work and function,'' Snyder says. ''But get fewer of them.''
3. Calculate the cost of things — any things! ''Be very focused on and systematic about collecting data and sharing data with other schools around the country and the world,'' he says. ''Collect data on industries and on markets. It's really valuable for students to do that, and you'll make your school valuable for insight and information.'' Extra credit: ''It's good for branding.''
4. Offer a broader mix of programs, including part-time ones. ''That's more affordable in today's economy and where the market at business schools is going.''
5. Book your ticket to Gdansk! ''If you're going to be global, be selective and try to identify a less well served country like Vietnam or Poland instead of China. Pick places with young populations that don't already have a lot of business schools.''Continue reading the main story

BackgroundPart of the redevelopment of the "Mid-Market" neighborhood, this project consists of 37- and 24-story towers linked by
11- and 15-story midrise sections. The overall project size is approximately 900,000 square feet, which includes about 750 apartment units and 6,000 square feet of retail space. Parking is accommodated with a below-grade garage. The building's exterior is clad with unitized aluminum curtain wall framing with vision glass, spandrel glass, and metal panel infills. WJE also consulted on the building's operable windows, sliding glass doors, and glass balcony railings, as well as cement plaster (stucco) cladding at roof penthouses. The building is designed to achieve LEED-Silver certification.

I also play bass, but my 1st committment is to guitar with this ensemble. We are in the South Bend, IN area...and have 3-4 Clubs in the area that we rotate through on a monthly basis. Our regular bassist is going to North Texas State to study jazz, so we're outta luck ('cause he's a funky killer!).

- All utilities, except phone and internet, including basic cable TV
- One meal per day or flexible meal plan

2) What amenities are offered in the community building?
Library, dining rooms, fitness center, indoor pool, recreational spaces (art studio, woodworking shop, etc;) beauty/barber shop, health clinic and resident lounges/gathering spaces.
3) What are the health requirements for residency?
You must be able to live safely in an independent residence and care for your own needs at the time of admission. In addition, you and your physician will be required to complete health assessment forms.
4) How many residences are there, and what are the plans for future expansion?
After an expansion in 2013, we currently offer 135 independent residences, 19 assisted living suites and 32 private skilled nursing rooms. Our zoning allows up to 225 independent residences and additional community space and long term care capacity. The Kendal at Granville Board of Trustees continues to evaluate the master plan.
5) What is the cost of residency at Kendal at Granville?
The cost of residency depends upon the size of the residence, whether 1 or 2 people will reside here, and which type of agreement you choose. With 17 available floor plans, there is a wide range of entry fees. Please call (888) 607-6660 for details.
6) Is there a refund option?
We offer two types of refundable contracts. One plan gives a refund that declines to zero over a 50 month period. The other plan declines over a 25 month period and stabilizes at 50% of the entry fee.
7) What are the age requirements for admittance to Kendal at Granville?
To be fully covered by the Residence and Care Agreement, at least one resident must be age 65. Kendal at Granville reserves unilateral discretion as to whether to extend the full coverage of the Residence and Care Agreement to a co-resident who is younger than age 65.
8) Is my entry fee safe with Kendal?
We use sophisticated actuarial advice to forecast our future responsibilities to residents, and we set aside reserve funds to meet those needs. Kendal has over 30 years of experience developing and operating retirement communities in six states, and that experience gives us a very informed estimate of the cost of honoring our promises in the Residence and Care Agreement.

If you have selected Kendal's life care agreement, there is no additional charge for assisted living or skilled nursing. The life care contract provides you unlimited assisted living and nursing care for the same monthly fee you paid in your most recently occupied residence.
If, however, you have a long term care insurance policy or select to self-insure, you may choose Kendal's modified contract. Under this contract you will receive a discount on the entry fee or the monthly fee. If you need assisted living or nursing care, you will pay the per-diem rate for the period of time you selected. Long term care insurance will pay for some or all of the per diem fees depending on your benefit. If you need care beyond the per-diem period, you will resume paying the monthly fee for the residence you last occupied.

Kendal at Granville offers the Freedom Through Functionality program, which can work in conjunction with skilled therapy, or residents may participate independently in this wellness program. Research studies and participant outcomes demonstrate the following changes through the Freedom Through Functionality program:
– Increased muscle strength
– Enhanced joint flexibility
– Improved body composition

– Reduced occurrence of falls
– Increased cardiovascular endurance
– Improved blood pressure
– Decreased arthritic pain and discomfort

Kendal at Granville has trained staff on duty at all times to respond to emergencies. Residences are wired with emergency call systems and fire alarms for your security and peace of mind.

The year doesn't matter. This is about the age and the time and the year doesn't have much to do with a specific point in time. If we must talk about the year, it was an year around the cusp of when teenage and a peek into the life beyond hopscotch squares and giggling over bike rides around the mango orchards was scary, intangible and exhilarating. Being an adult is not something you can grasp when you are firmly ensconced in the no-man's land between a childhood fast receding like a summer shadow and a teenage that sullenly walks with you but refuses to say much.
Summer breezes and the slivers of the sparkling, shimmering Indian ocean on a school trip is how this memory unravels itself. Sun and sand and laughter and shy smiles. Like any walk down memory lane, this one too meanders, mind you. Much like a set of footprints at a beach that will inevitably get wiped away after the bounty of the next tide. Crowded dorms and "thali meals", sunsets and building castles at the beach and collecting starfish and shells and racing the tide are what this time was all about. The first real trip as a teenager, away from home. The same faces that surround you in school every day but suddenly by the sea-side these are the faces of people – real people – and not just the usual contingent swathed in the bottle green and chequered school uniforms. It is an era of discovering that your hair looks nicer if you wear it a particular way. That the boy who sits two rows away from you, is _actually_ staring at you as you navigate the dorms to get your meal. It is wishing for the first time that you had swankier clothes to wear even when though you have no clue how to dress up better. And so you borrow the "know-all" girl's lipstick and hurriedly wipe way the remnants of the gloss from your lips almost as if the red tinges on your lips speak openly of your longing to grow up overnight.
Sometimes you don't even know when love shares your seat on a journey. You think the seat next to you is vacant and there is love in all its regalia, wondering if you will acknowledge its presence and yet your eyes are on the destination and you don't realize that sometimes love gets off several stops earlier, sulking because it is unacknowledged. And then you get to the destination and there is no one waiting for you underneath the crowded bus- shelter and you wonder if this is where you were supposed to get off. And all this while, all this while, love has been ruing the incomplete journey as much as you have. And you both go your ways wondering if the journey was never meant to be which is often an easier thing to accept than the sad truth that you parted with your co-traveller when you didn't need to.
And there you have it, a shimmering ocean, a vacant seat on the journey, the young lad from across the second row staring at you, and the same song playing endlessly on the battered tape deck of the hired bus. You haven't heard the song in the past and you don't know that in the future whenever you hear this song, time will skip backwards with a twirl and raise a suppressed murmur of unsaid words in your heart. You listen to the song and the pledge of endless love and you think "endless like till you are grown-ups" and you would be right in a way because being adults in some strange way does include spring cleaning your heart and your memories and your baggage and throwing out a favoured pebble, a dried rose and an old card smelling of glue.
You don't know it then but love doesn't get easier when you grow up, what gets easier is knowing when to get off at the crowded bus shelter even when there is no one waiting for you. But the thought of endless love is giddy at that age and you smile back at the boy who smiles back at you. And you wonder if this is love, even as you wonder if he has noticed the new shoes and the borrowed sunglasses and the traces of makeup and that you are singing along to the song hoping your words and his meet somewhere mid way.
The boy is shy and you are too and you would rather giggle with your best friend about the hapless waiter who messed up your order again. And so you never get around to talking to him much. You stare in awe at the other "couples" who are actually talking and walking along the expanse of the waters and you hum the song to yourself. There is a tiny but defiant storm in your heart, where you have no words to articulate how you feel about everything – the boy, the ocean and the song. Years later, you identify this as the season of the heart getting to know itself but that afternoon by the beach, you realize that life, the real "this can and this will hurt and you can and you will survive this" life is about to happen.
Perhaps it is a premonition, a prediction or perhaps you have listened to what the heart has been trying to tell you all along – life doesn't have a plan, always. That is all you need to know when you are travelling. This is about a meandering memory like I said. This is about a snippet of time, complete in its lack of conclusions. The trip ends, normalcy and high-school resumes and you never see the boy again after year 10.
You read his obituary in the local paper, he killed himself a few years to the day you stared at each other across a sand castle. There are no answers and there are no questions and you didn't even know he didn't live round the corner anymore. By the time you realized that he had moved away, he really wasn't around the corner anymore.
This is not about the year like I said. This is about the age and the time – the age and the time that you leave behind. When love and life and age terminate their voyage abruptly; a snippet of a song, a flash of the ocean and an old school photo tell you that sometimes the only way to make peace with life's plans is to travel backward in time, when all else fails. And that is a journey too….

Bradley "BaZa88" Bower jumped from 5th spot to first last week in the Australian top ten online rankings. This week he has extended his lead at the top by adding over 200 PocketFives.com ranking points to his previous total. Recent triple crown winner, Kel "aces_up4108" Beattie, held onto second place and new poker millionaire, WaGe N WaRz, climbed to third. There were two new entrants into the top ten this week as supanova99 and bazooka87 entered the rankings in 6th and 10th place respectively.
BaZa88 had another impressive week on the online felt which began when he came 3rd in the $16.50 No Limit Hold'em Turbo on PokerStars for $2,974, what was particularly impressive was that this tournament attracted 2,132 entrants. The $215 No Limit Hold'em Turbo on PokerStars attracts some of the top names in online poker and the Aussie went deep as he finished 15th for $1,098. Bower's Sunday wasn't finished yet and he took 5th in The PokerStars.com Bigger $162 which had a 1,471 player field claiming a whopping $10,811 for the achievement. He showed his big field skills yet again in the $22 No Limit Hold'em with one rebuy and one add-on on PokerStars where he took 6th for $1,481 in the 677 player tournament. BaZa88 had a total of 30 cashes this week in what was yet again another stellar week.
Kel "aces_up4108" Beattie took a well-deserved week off from online grinding with Las Vegas on his radar but his recent spectacular form was enough to hold his position in 2nd spot in the rankings. However, he won't last there for long with the likes of WaGe N WaRz hovering close behind him. This grinder actually lost some rankings points this week but had a very solid outing with 31 cashes. His first four figure cash came in the PokerStars $265 No Limit Hold'em Knockout, which attracted a $70,000 prize-pool, when he finished 11th for $1,050. The $11 No Limit Hold'em with rebuys on PokerStars had 251 entrants and the Aussie finished in top spot taking it down for $2,026. WaGe N WaRz notched up a 4th in the Ongame $100 for a $1,336 payment. The highlight of his week came at the end in the $109 No Limit Hold'em Double Chance Turbo on PokerStars as he napped 4th for a healthy $3,621 score.
Outside the top three there were some fantastic results to report on. $4,142 and a virtual trophy was the reward brownie682 got for scooping the $44 No Limit Hold'em Turbo on PokerStars as he moved into 4th place in the rankings. A new entrant to the top ten, supanova99, set himself up for a big move in the rankings by winning an eye watering $25,000 in the 888 poker $100k GTD No Limit Hold'em last week and followed it up this week with yet another victory. He took down the $82 No Limit Hold'em 6 Max HyperTurbo on PokerStars for a juicy $4,369 confirming himself as a serious contender for future big moves in the Aussie rankings. Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis had no fewer than 6 cashes above four figures this week but still saw his position drop to 7th in the rankings. His biggest score was $10,613 for 1st place in the $109 No Limit Hold'em Turbo with one rebuy and one add-on on Pokerstars.
Karamalikis claimed another victory in the $51 No Limit Hold'em HyperTurbo again on PokerStars this time for $3,018. 8th place went to tollgate who had a super Saturday starting with a win and $5,737 in the PokerStars $55 No Limit Hold'em Turbo Double Chance. The day was capped very nicely with a 2nd place finish in the $215 Weekly 6 Max No Limit Hold'em on PokerStars for a wallet busting $8,749.
Another new entrant to the top ten is bazooka87, who set himself up for a rankings climb last week by winning $9,366 by taking down the PokerStars $215 No Limit Hold'em Turbo. This week he added another trophy to his locker and of course some cash, $3,025 to be precise, for winning the Ongame $50 No Limit Hold'em.
The competition to hold a place in the Australian top ten online poker rankings is seriously intense. There have been some huge scores this week as our grinders are making waves on the virtual felt with some of the top ten pulling in five figures in one or two tournaments alone. Bradley "BaZa88" Bower remains top of the table but with the likes of brownie682, supanova99, xMONSTERxDONGx, tollgate and bazooka87 all pulling in victories this week the rankings are sure to change quick and fast in the coming weeks. Stay with us on PokerNetwork to see what happens next week on the online poker scene in Australia.
