Here are some more information for One Pair:
Anybody that has watched poker on television knows that some hands are referred to with distinctive names, such as Pocket Rockets, Cowboys, or Big Slick. Lots of Texas Hold 'Em starting hands have nicknames, and my next couple of articles will give you some of the more common ones, as well as some you may not have heard before. In this article, we will focus on what to call your pocket pairs.
With the explosion of televised poker has come an explosion in the terminology of the game. People that don't know a flop from a flush can sit down and watch a broadcast of the World Poker Tour or the World Series of Poker and gain a relatively good understanding of the jargon in a few hours. There are certain starting hands with distinct nicknames, and we will be taking a look at those now. Most of these have been around for a while, but are becoming a big part of the language of poker thanks to the WPT's Vince "Lady of Spain is going off in his head" van Patten and ESPN's Norman "How many jokes about divorce can I fit into a one hour broadcast" Chad.
Pair of Aces: Pocket Rockets, American Airlines, Bullets, Weapons of Mass Destruction
Pair of Kings: Cowboys, King Kong, Ace Magnets (depending on how your luck is running that day)
Pair of Queens: Ladies, Hilton/Gabor Sisters (depending on what generation you're from), Siegfried and Roy (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Pair of Jacks: Jokers, Fish Hooks
Pair of Tens: Dimes, Binary, Boxcars
Pair of Nines: Meathooks, Phil Hellmuth (Hellmuth won the final hand of his World Series of Poker Main Event championship with a pair of nines), German Virgins (the German word for "no" is nein), Wayne Gretzky
Pair of Eights: Snowmen, Two Fat Ladies, Double Infinity
Pair of Sevens: Walking Sticks, Hockey Sticks, Mullets (short in the front, long in the back)
Pair of Sixes: Route 66, Mario Lemieux
Pair of Fives: Speed Limit (old school version), Nickels, Presto
Pair of Fours: Magnum (thank you, Dirty Harry), Sailboats, Luke Skywalker (May the Fours be with you), Darth Vader (specific to two black fours, which would be the Dark Side of the Fours)
Pair of Threes: Crabs, Hooters
Pair of Twos: Ducks, Swans
Those are all the nicknames that you can use for pocket pairs in the game of Texas Hold 'Em. The next article you see from me will deal with nicknames for unpaired hole cards. Until then, here's hoping that your Cowboys don't get shot by any bullets and your Hilton Sisters don't end up with crabs!

Brazilian male caregiver named International Au Pair of the Year
Tampa, FL—April 10th, 2009— A young journalism student from Natal, Brazil who has shown compassion and dedication in his daily care for a special needs boy, has earned the distinction of being named the “International Au Pair of the Year”, the second consecutive honor for a Cultural Care au pair, an agency that places au pairs with families in the Tampa Bay Area.
The “Au Pair of the Year” Award honors au pairs who are caring, dependable and exceptional providers of childcare to their host family. Francisco Ricardo Silva de Araújo, au pair to the Boyer family of Richmond, Virginia was chosen from among local nominees as well as au pairs around the world in more than 50,000 host families. He was presented with the award at the 15th Annual International Au Pair Association Conference in Vienna, Austria on March 25th. Linda Falter from Germany, another Cultural Care au pair, won the award in 2008.
The International Au Pair Association established the Au Pair of the Year Award to recognize the many great young men and women participating in the au pair program.
Claudia Gomez, local childcare coordinator for Cultural Care Au Pair in Tampa says, “It is wonderful that IAPA, through this award, allows so many in the au pair community to reflect on what an incredibly positive program this is and the many lives it touches and enriches along the way.”
The Boyer family nominated Ricardo for this prestigious award because of his devotion to their son, Taylor. Taylor is multi-handicapped and does not speak. “Ricardo is an exceptional young man, full of compassion, patience, gentleness. He never tires of encouraging Taylor to meet his challenges and reach beyond them,” says Kim Boyer, Ricardo’s host mother. “He has truly enhanced Taylor's life in a way I never thought possible.” Gomez says that she often hears from her local host families that, like Ricardo, their au pairs have exceeded expectations and truly enriched their children’s lives.
“We could not be more proud of this fine young man and our au pair program that has now won the award for two consecutive years,” says David Fougere, President of Cultural Care Au Pair. “I think Kim Boyer said it best in her nomination. ‘Ricardo is an excellent example of all that one would hope for in a childcare provider. He is truly the spirit of Cultural Care and the best in mankind.’”
The International Au Pair Association is the global trade association for qualified au pair agencies actively engaged in the au pair industry. Headquartered in Denmark, there are 143 members in 38 countries around the world.

i have an expensive pair of sunglasses and one of the arms is broken, how can i get it fixed?
I have an expensive pair of sunglasses (Porsche Carrera) that are fairly new and one of the arms has broken off. How can i get this repaired?
Take them to the nearest discount vision center (mall, retail store, other). They will have everything needed to fix it, and I bet they charge under $10. For instance, in a similar circumstance, I stopped at the WalMart vision center, and they fixed it for free. I think I had only lost the screw - they may have to charge you for the arm.
Good luck!
One step at a time could reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke
It's easy. Pull on a pair of comfortable shoes and put one foot in front of the other - in your neighborhood, at a park, in the mall. We could reduce our risk of heart attack and stroke substantially.
