Straight (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There are 10,200 possible straights, so the odds of getting a straight given a five card hand are 32359:128, or approximately 253:1. Straights are often described by the highest card, as in "queen-high straight" or "straight to the queen". Two straights with the same high card are of equal value, and split any winnings (straights are the most commonly tied hands in poker, especially in community card poker games). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Straight_(poker)

Straight edge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Straight edge, also known as sXe, is a lifestyle and (counter cultural) subculture, closely associated with punk or hardcore punk music in the United States, which advocates abstinence in relation to tobacco, alcohol and recreational drug use (especially psychoactive and stimulant drug use), and in relation to promiscuous sexual behaviour. Some straight edge individuals do not use caffeine, or they choose to be vegetarian or vegan. According to posts on both BoingBoing [1] and Beatrice.com [2], there was a vegetarian restaurant called "Straight Edge Kitchen" in New York City's Greenwich Village at that time, and a set of illustrations in a 1906 issue of the New York World newspaper shows a group of "Straight-Edgers" eating at a vegetarian restaurant. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Straight_edge

Straight pool - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch Straight Pool, also called 14.1 Continuous, was a popular billiards game in the United States until overtaken by faster playing games like 8-ball and 9-ball. The rules are somewhat more complex than 8-ball or 9-ball, because straight pool has more penalties than those games, and it is necessary to know how to handle various scenarios that arise when racking 14 balls. Myth 16: it's impossible to get a straight answer about what type of pool or spa to buy. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /straight_pool.htm

Straight, Inc. This was Straight Inc. They had already gone through lawsuits, and the one I went into on the East Coast was not as severe as the house that had been shut down by the first lawsuits; however, it was more severe than the houses that have opened since then.

Calvin Thomas / Straight with a Twist Straight with a Twist responds to the formulations of some of the leading figures in queer theory, considers demonstrations of the queer in television programs ("Seinfeld," for example) and contemporary films, and explores to what extent and in what ways literary texts from Shakespeare to Dorothy Allison are open to queer interpretation. In some of the ways that men have learned from feminism to interrogate the construction of masculinity, straights are learning from queer theory to interrogate constructions of straightness, to question their place in those constructions, and to make critical interventions into the institutional reproduction of the heterosexual norm. Straight with a Twist offers a refreshing look at the relation between queer theory and critical examinations of the construction of heterosexuality. www.press.uillinois.edu /f99/thomas.html

Straight, Incorporated Nancy Reagan and White House drug czar Carlton Turner promoted Straight as a "model for successful drug rehabilitation," even though Florida's Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services censured Straight in 1983, after receiving dozens of complaints of abuse and false imprisonment. "Straight had its own really weird lingo and some group customs," Bright recalls, describing fellow inmates who jumped around, frothed at the mouth, and waved their arms in reckless abandon during surreal "motivational-confessional" sessions in which they were compelled to publicly disclose their deepest, darkest secrets. Straight centers in Southern California, Virginia Beach, DC, Boston, Dallas, Orlando, Detroit, and Maryland were closed due to investigations in 1990, '91, and '92. www.cannabisculture.com /articles/2072.html

Straight edge people of all ages began marking their hands with a black X, to distinguish themselves from the rest and as a mark of their ideals. www.bbc.co.uk /dna/h2g2/A545212

Willard Straight Hall By the age of 30, Straight was believed to be one of the most powerful men in the Far East, earning as much as the President of the United States.

Review: The Straight Story The Straight Story is based on a real event in the life of a real person - the kind of thing that often shows up during the final, "feel good" segment of the evening news. The Straight Story may lack the surreal, compelling quality that has defined the director's other seven features, but it is an example of an artist in peak form. The Straight Story is designed with adults in mind - all but the most precocious kids will be bored out of their minds. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/s/straight_story.html

The Problem with Governor McGreevey's "Straight Talk" - Gordon Bishop On the Issues - by Gordon Bishop - Atlantic Highlands Herald - New Jersey My understanding of “Straight Talk” is that you know exactly what a person is saying. Those who know McGreevey intimately know he is not “straight.” It’s just a word he uses to make him appear exactly the opposite of what he is. Even a cliché like “Straight Talk” has lost its meaning because of the political spin-meisters. www.ahherald.com /bishop/020502_straight.htm

straight edge online - abc 2020 The parents of Straight Edgers are so impressed with that approach that few of them noticed when some of their kids started taking their cause to an extreme, far over the edge. He says Straight Edgers may boast of being squeaky clean and health conscious, but he’s found many of them are nothing more than violent gang members who assault people who smoke and beat up people who drink alcohol. Police say some Straight Edgers are so determined to prove their point that they firebombed this McDonald’s restaurant because it sells meat. toefur.com /straightedge/articles/2020.html

village voice > news > Post-Straight by Chris Nutter As straight guys outside the gay loop copped on to the sexual success of their post-straight friends, others entered the scene, turning the art of playing gay into a science for getting laid. This is de rigueur at gay gyms—the best place for straight trainers to find devoted disciples—and gay bars, which have become famous in Jersey and the outer boroughs as venues where an in-shape guy can make $500 a night and get worshiped while he's at it. I understand their emotions." Being a straight man in gay circles taught Carrino something about what it feels like to be on the other end of the male gaze. www.villagevoice.com /issues/0132/nutter.php

Straight The straight line must be one of the earliest curves studied, but Euclid in his Elementsalthough he devotes much study to the straight line, does not consider it a curve.
