A Game of Poker

Is Poker a game for the guys? I'm asking this because my male-friends would normally end home-parties with a poker game. Perhaps there's something to it that I haven't discovered. Like they say, if you can't beat them, join them.

First things first, I need some knowledge of the game and what better place to go than here at this Free Poker site and learn a thing or two, to beat the guys at their own game? Far-fetched but always a possibility. I'm a positive person, you see.

PokerSavvy is where I can obtain tips on playing poker (particularly Hold'em) plus I can find other links to get discounts at other games. A little exploration won't hurt, I'm sure, because I'm just looking for some fun and entertainment. Wish me luck.

Tapestry

In my previous post on Weather Conditions, I mentioned about the drought in South Australia. I managed to find this picture showing the land from the air. If it's not for the negative circumstances, this picture is quite lovely, really, something like a tapestry. Sad, isn't it? Think Rain.

One Man's Meat...

I guess it's true what is being said about one man's meat being another's poison.

A tattoo is about all I would consider (read most probably not) on my body but rings and stuff is a definite no-no. I'm not that liberal nor daring to have them on my body. Wouldn't they get in the way too? Oh well.....

Contact Lenses

Some of my friends have switched to contact lenses citing convenience. I remember a friend spent a lot of money replacing them when she first started using them. She would lose them mostly in the bathroom in the mornings. We used to joke about it but she has since wised up and have become more adept at handling them.

The contact lenses that are available in the market today are no longer the same as what they used to be. The current ones are no longer hard to wear nor difficult to clean.

Bausch & Lomb manufactured Soflens One Day are both comfortable and convenient since you can now do away with the daily cleaning rituals. You can simply wear them for one day then throw them away the next and start with a fresh pair. Its high water content makes it comfortable to wear all throughout the day. They also come tinted. This facilitates for easy locating and handling of the lenses when they are in solution and will not change the color of your eye.

With the growing demand for contact lenses, the Bausch & Lomb’s Soflens One Day disposable contact lenses is surprisingly affordable and accessible that just about anyone can get them.

Bausch & Lomb is a name renowned and highly respected in the vision care industry all across the globe. Its product line-up includes soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses as well as other lens care products, along with ophthalmic surgical and pharmaceutical products.

Weather Conditions

I read the other day that South Australia is going through a terrible dry spell, in fact the worst in 1000 years. The picture I saw showed a pitiful state of affairs in the fields which were of yellow and brown. Their government is encouraging people to go up north where agriculture is possible.

While this part of the world is dry, other places in the northern hemisphere are seeing heavy rainfall. In Doha, Qatar, there was an unusually high level of rainfall. Doha is currently hosting the Asian Games and the bad weather caused some jeopardy to outdoor events.

Dubai was also affected by the bad weather. A friend who was on holiday was lucky enough to miss the flood as he departed the day the rains came. Below are a few pictures of the floor situation. I wonder if global warming is to be blamed for these extremes?

Princess Diana

I remember almost ten years ago one morning, I couldn't believe my ears when I heard CNN reporting on the death of Princess Diana. The day was August 31, 1997. August 31 happens to be Malaysia's Independence Day. Normally I would be watching the live telecast of the National Day Parade but on that fateful day, I was glued to CNN for updates. It was a sad day for many people, me included. There were many theories as to her death.

According to The Star, a long-awaited British police report into Princess Diana's death due this week could finally lay to rest conspiracy theories that she was murdered rather than that she died the victim of a tragic accident.
