Actual Day Photography In Singapore

By Robert Wong

The wedding couple are the two most important people on a wedding day. To get some excellent portraits, the photographer should seclude the wedding couple from the celebration for a while to capture the intimate moments after the ceremony. This will give the wedding couple some time away from the wedding as well.

There is an amount of time that the photographer will been to spend with the bride and groom for the portrait session. On the wedding day it doesn't always happen because it is rare to have time on the actual day of the wedding. The time taken for pictures can well vary from an hour to no time at all. It can take up to an hour for the photographer to take the pictures.

The photographer will require some time with the bride and groom, but when is a good time?

Most photographers tend to believe that the window before the reception is very suitable for portrait photography, since the couple would still look fresh at that time.

Sometimes the bride and groom would want to start the portrait shoot even before the ceremony says Bradley Hanson, award winning photographer. When the bride is getting ready is when he usually starts photographing.

Other photo journalists believe that the right time for a portrait session is just after the couple has exchanged their vows, and are still are evidently feeling the emotions of being newly-wed.

The couple should set aside some time with the photographer so the perfect actual day photo shoot will be flawless. Finding a polite way to lose the relatives and guests is sometimes hard but is worth the beautiful moments they will cherish for a lifetime.

A good portrait session on the actual day can be ruined by too many people trying to photograph the newly-weds. As a result of this, most photographers choose to have the couple alone for the shoot so that it is not disturbed by anyone.

Most newly-weds start feeling uncomfortable before the camera when the portrait shoot is going to take place, says Shawna Herring, award winning photographer. To help the couple forget the camera is there, the experienced photographer will try talking to the couple about things other then the portrait shoot.

Sometimes people will choose to go to a different location the day before the wedding to have the photo shoot done. This really helps loosen up the bride and groom since it helps build a comfortable relationship with the photographer. Shortly after, couples sometimes forget the camera is even there.

It is at times impossible to achieve the perfect alone time with the photographer due to a variety of reasons. Working together with the bride and groom will help to achieve the creative portrait session.

The Benefits When You Choose To Go Camping In An RV

By Larry Forest

One thing most people love to do is to take vacations. One type of vacation is really popular. Camping is the type of vacation we are talking about. This type of vacation is appealing to so many people.

One way that is considered one of the best is using an RV to go camping. Well in this article we are going to look at some fun things you can do by going camping in an RV.

First of all the benefit of going camping in an RV is the fact you have all the amenities you would need. The comforts of running water and toilets make this choice very appealing to many people. Without a doubt there are still a group of people who like to rough it when they go camping. But that isn't the type of person that makes up most of my clientele of my San Diego RV rentals business.

The next great benefit when camping with an RV is you can bring all kinds of different foods because you can store it easily. Most of the time when you go camping what types of food you are able to bring is limited. Well it used to be if you were to go camping you were limited to the types of foods you could bring, but an RV frees those limitations. That is the biggest requested item for people who rent an RV from my Campland on the Bay RV rentals service.

The last benefits is the fact you are free to move around to many different campsites. When you first go camping the first thing you need to do is set up your camp. Well if you want to go to another camp what you have to do is a lot of breaking down of camp then moving everything. Well with an RV if you want to go to another campground, all you have to do is load up and drive. This is what a lot of people who rent from my RV rentals company.

So as you can see there are many reasons to go camping with an RV. The biggest reason that covers them all is comfort and ease of use.

College Football Flashback: 2008 SEC Championship Game

By Ross Everett

The Florida Gators would go on to win the NCAA Football Championship, but it was a 31-20 victory over #1 ranked Alabama in the SEC championship game that got them there. The Gators scored-- 4th quarter points to secure victory in a contest that was an epic struggle for three quarters with five lead changes and two ties.

The Gators struck first, taking a 7-0 lead on a three yard Tim Tebow TD pass to Carl Moore. The Crimson Tide quickly counterpunched, tying the score on an eighteen yard run by Glen Coffee and taking their first lead of the game at 10-7 several minutes later on a 30 yard FG by Leigh Tiffin. Florida responded in the second quarter, tying the game on a Jonathan Phillips' yard FG and taking a 17-10 lead into the halftime break on another Tebow TD pass, this one to David Nelson from five yards out. Alabama regained the momentum in the third quarter, tying the score on a 2 yard Mark Ingram touchdown run and then regaining the lead at 20-17 in the final seconds of the period on another Tiffin field goal. Florida put them down for the count in the fourth, however, on a 1 yard Jeffrey Demps TD run followed by Tebows third touchdown strike of the day.

As was the case so often during 2008, Tim Tebow was the big star for the Gators. The junior QB had 216 yards passing with 3 TDs and no interceptions plus fifty seven yards on the ground. Florida head coach Urban Meyer praised Tebow effusively in his post game comments:

"I've had some great players, and I've got some great players on this team. But I've never had one like this. Tim's got something special inside him. I'm not talking about throwing. I'm not talking about running. I'm talking about making everyone around him better. That fourth quarter was vintage Tim Tebow.

Alabama coach Nick Saban wasnt about to argue with him:

"He's a great competitor. He takes his teammates on his shoulders a lot. They have a lot of confidence he's going to make plays, and they play that way. They scored two touchdowns where we had them covered about as well as we could cover them."

The conventional wisdom is that the Gators are a speed and finesse team, but according to cornerback Joe Haden make no mistake that they're tough:

"Our team is a tough team. The only reason they look past our toughness is our speed. They said we were a speed team and they were a tough team. We're just as tough. We can still be pretty and fast and tough at the same time."

Even in defeat, it was impossible to overlook the remarkable resurgance of Alabama football. In only two years at the helm, Nick Saban has amassed a'-7 record at Alabama with no signs of slowing down.

Exploiting The Power Of Mind

By William J Stevens

All of us remember the United Negro College Fund commercials of the 80s; or at the very least, we remember its slogan: 'the mind is a terrible thing to waste'. While we're talking about something different than going to university today, the slogan is definitely on point here. Our minds have a lot of potential which most of us are letting go unused. The power of the mind is something that none of us should waste and when we know how to tap into these unused resources, we can change our lives and event the world.

Even if you haven't seen the film or read the book, it's all but certain that you know of the book The Secret or about the law of attraction, the most important idea of the book and film. The idea is that when you focus your mind on something, it attracts it to you. You don't even have to be expending mental energy on this goal consciously in order for this effect to work.

One prime example of the efficacy of this idea is what is called the placebo effect. This is named for the clinical trials which use placebos for the control group while giving the actual medication to the other. Both groups think they're getting the medication, so both often believe them to be experiencing the effects that have been described to them.

You've no doubt seen the effect in your own life as well. For instance, you've no doubt woken up thinking that a particular day isn't going to be a good one. It shouldn't really be too much of a surprise when these days turn out not to be among your favorites. It has to do with the power of your mind - when you think a day is going to be a bad (or a great one) then your subconscious has the ability to make this happen.

There is an ever growing amount of evidence for a scientific basis to the power of the mind, with one of the most intriguing ideas coming from the world of quantum physics. This is the possibility that matter either does not take shape until an observer is there to witness it. This suggests that the power of the mind may actually be what shapes the universe, not the other way around.

It is thought by some scientists that many of the phenomena we have always thought of as supernatural (such as remote viewing, telepathy and the like) are actually perfectly natural and explainable phenomena, though science may be a few years away from understanding the precise mechanisms behind them.

Even though you may not have really thought about it too much yet, the power of your mind can be the key to changing your life for the better. If you could use the power of your mind to make the universe work with you rather than against you, wouldn't you want to learn how? Keep reading for some techniques which can help you to access your own mental potential to achieve your goals in life.

The first step is to have a goal; this has to be a specific, rather than a general goal. Instead of thinking 'I want to be rich', think 'I want three million dollars'. Having a specific goal makes it easier for you to focus your mental energies on achieving your objective. Learning to focus is the key here; most of the time, you may have dozens of different thoughts going on at once.

Many people already understand the power of the mind and they expend a great deal of time and effort into putting their mental energy towards meeting their goals. These people focus on their objective, putting all of their thoughts and actions towards their goal - they put the full power of the mind in order to overcome obstacles and make it towards what they want. Since their minds are in control and they are putting all of their resources towards attaining their goals, they make it a reality. It all sounds so easy, but it is not quite as easy as it may seem.

By learning to control the power of the mind, you can gain the ability to influence the world around you and achieve just about anything you'd like. Suppose that you want a new home. You spend a lot of time thinking about it in great detail, going so far as to visualize how you'll cultivate the back yard and the colors you'll paint every room in the house. You begin putting all of your energy towards this goal, taking steps like angling for a promotion so you can make the money you need to purchase this new home, start thinking about how you'll do the work necessary to set things up exactly the way you'd like and even researching how to get the best possible mortgage.

By focusing on this goal and putting your mental energy towards your objective, you can make it happen - don't be too surprised when your dream home goes on the market and your offer is accepted; and you even get just the right mortgage. It is the power of the mind which has made this come about, not simply good luck.

This is something you can do; something everyone can do. Believe in the power of your mind and you can achieve anything - set your mind on a small goal and work your way up to bigger and better things as you go.

Browns Best Bills In NFL 'Futility Bowl'

By Ross Everett

In a matchup between two of the worst offenses in the NFL, someone had to win. Despite producing only 9 first downs and'3 yards of total offense, the Cleveland Browns got a late game field goal from Billy Cundiff to defeat the Buffalo Bills 6-3 and win their first game of the season. The Bills had the more productive afternoon statistically, with- first downs and 288 yards of offense but were undone by three costly turnovers. Both teams are now 1-4 on the 2009 NFL season.

To successfully bet on the NFL, one needs to find opportunities to play underdogs"this is particularly true in games where neither team is expected to put many points on the board. Such was the case here, as Cleveland easily covered the pointspread as +6 road underdogs. Both teams are now 2-3 against the number on the season. The Browns have now won and covered the last three head to head matchups between the teams. The 9 points scored came nowhere near the total of 41 for an easy UNDER.

It was a game without many highlights. The Browns got on the board first with a 24 yard Cundiff field goal in the second quarter, and took that 3-0 lead into the locker room at halftime. Buffalo would tie the score in third on a Rian Lindell 36 yard field goal. That would set the stage for Cundiff to nail the game winner from' yards out with: 23 left to play. Despite todays victory, Cleveland is averaging a woeful 11 points per game this season. Buffalo's PPG numbers are slightly better thanks to decent scoring output in their first two games of the season--theyre averaging just over 15 points per contest. In the Bills last three games, however, theyre averaging a meager 6.6 points per game.

The real loser in Sundays contest may have been Buffalo head coach Dick Jauron. Many were surprised that he was retained after the Bills third straight 7-9 season last year and things have gone from bad to worse so far in the 2009 NFL season. Buffalo has lost to winless teams in back to back weeks, part of a three game losing streak. Overall, the Bills have wound up losers in 12 of their last 15 games. Not that Cleveland has done much better--the win today ended a 10 game losing streak, one short of the all time franchise record.

Cleveland will have a tough road assignment next Sunday, heading to Pittsburgh to face the World Champion Steelers. Theyll return home for a game against the Green Bay Packers on October 25th before playing the Chicago Bears in The Windy City the following week. Buffalo will play the next two on the road, heading to the Meadowlands next Sunday for a game against the New York Jets followed by a trip to Charlotte, NC to take on the Carolina Panthers. Theyll return home on November 1st to face the Houston Texans.

Why Chakra Clearing Is Vitally Important!

By Gina Sherman

Ours is a fast moving society and just making it through a typical day can take everything you?ve got and leave you feeling drained and utterly exhausted. To keep going and moving onwards and upwards, you need to recharge yourself occasionally.

It's not just your physical conditionthat's important; but also the shape that your mind and your spirit are in. All three are important to allowing you to continue to develop yourself in your personal as well as your professional life.

Our bodies contain many energy centers which are known as chakras. Chakras keep energy flowing through our bodies and act as a link between our inner selves and our physical bodies.

Chakras perform the important function of taking your potential energy and allowing you to turn this into action. Your energy levels can come to low ebb if you do not regularly refresh these internal energy stores and clear you chakras to keep them working at their peak. Clearing chakras should be a routine part of taking care of your health, since it gives you renewed energy and vigor.

The primary chakras are located along your spine, but there are a large number of secondary and tertiary chakras which are located all over your body. Each has its own particular function, corresponding to a different physiological and psychological aspect of your being. By working on your chakras, you can bring them into proper function and make them work together harmoniously.

Clearing chakras involves ridding your energy centers of negative energies, so that positive energy may come in and revitalize your chakras.

By making counterclockwise motions, you can eliminate negative energy from your chakras; clockwise motions will invite positive energy into your chakras.

You may experience a twinge of pain or discomfort while clearing chakras. This is negative energy flowing out of your chakras and is nothing to be alarmed about. Your chakras will soon be replenished with positive energy.

Chakras are receptors for the positive energy of the universe. They take this energy and make it available for you to use.

After chakra clearing, you will feel energized and refreshed. This practice is something that a lot of people choose to make a regular part of their lives. How frequently You'll need to do chakra clearing yourself depends on you as an individual.

After clearing your chakras, You'll find yourself with increased self awareness, better coping skills and new ideas. Clearing and balancing your chakras can give you renewed energy and a different, more positive outlook on life.

You'll want to start by working on individual chakras, focusing on clearing each one by one to recharge them and give you access to the energy they transmit. After clearing your chakras, You'll find your mind and body relaxed.

It's a good idea to educate yourself about the chakras; You'll want to know which chakras are tied to which physiological functions and which character traits. This lets you focus on the chakras which need the most work first.

Modern life can get tiring. You want to have as much energy as you can to keep going and to get ahead. By having your chakras cleared of negative energy and working well together, You'll have an easier time accomplishing what you need to do and achieving your goals.

Spiritual energy is no less important than is physical or mental energy; and clearing your chakras will recharge all three; You'll be able to feel the difference.

Regular chakra clearing will make you refreshed and re-energized. You may find that you actually have more energy than you ever thought you did! Chakra clearing can help you to achieve ever better things in your life.

Wonder Woman on Your Bank Checks Will Make a Personal Statement

By Alan Plastin

Many little girls wanted to be Wonder Woman when they were growing up. These days, she is still a force to be reckoned with in the superhero realm, charming both men and women. If you are searching for a way to liven up your personal bank checks, and you're a fan of this lovely lady, then you might want to think about getting Wonder Woman checks. It's not as difficult as you might think, and the checks might even be cheaper than the plain ones that you already carry.

Wonder Woman first appeared in December, 1941. Except for a brief pause in 1986, she is one of 3 DC Comics superheroes that have been continuously published since 1944. Based on the Amazons of Greek mythology, Wonder Woman is a member of the Amazons, an all-female tribe. She was created to be a feminine role model that was meant to bring sexual equality, love, and peace to the world.

Some of the strengths that Wonder Woman possesses include stamina, fighting powers, and super strength. She is also very good at hand to hand combat fighting and is able to converse with the animal world. Besides these abilities, she can also fly and uses her Lasso of Truth to force people to be truthful.

Wonder Woman has appeared in her own television series, cartoons, and comic strips. She has also appeared on a variety of merchandise that includes everything from underclothing to lunch boxes and Halloween costumes. Now, you can also get her image on your personal bank checks.

In addition to spreading the message of love, Wonder Woman was a very liberated woman of her time and could be considered a feminist. Gloria Steinem even placed her image on the first copy of Ms. Magazine. Tall, athletic, and sharp, she embodied those women that had unconventional ideas during the time period that she came onto the scene. She was, in essence, more than just a comic strip character.

In the brilliant and animated Wonder Woman personal bank checks, you can practically feel her flying through the air. The checks come in 4 rotating images which means that each check will be different from the one before it. You can also find a matching checkbook cover and coordinating address labels to go with your Wonder Woman checks, too.

In the past, it could be pricey and time-consuming to go to your bank and purchase personal checks. Plus, they tended to have limited selections, too. Now, however, you can buy your personal bank checks online at safe websites and save as much as 50% off of what you might have spent at your bank. Even better is the fact that you will have a wide selection of checks to choose from so you won't have to settle for something that you don't really want. Have your routing number and checking account number handy when you order your Wonder Woman checks online and they should arrive to you in the mail in around 5 days or so.

MMA Flashback: Kimbo Slice And Elite XC Debut On CBS

By Ross Everett

It wasnt the decisive blowout that EliteXC was hoping far to send Kimbo Slices stardom into the stratosphere but with some seriously tense moments for the former street fighter against a game James Thompson everyone concerned is likely happy with a victory of any sort. Kimbo at times displayed some surprising skill on the ground, while at other times looked amateurish and lost. Slice clearly had the edge in the standup exchanges, and appeared to have Thompson on the verge of going down for the count several times in the fight.

Though "The Colossus" kept his feet through several punishing combinations, the beginning of the end came when a Slice punch nearly sheared his ear off. The bloody, grotesque ear was clearly at risk of being seriously damaged and Kimbo punctuated this with four or five uncontested power punches. Thompson by this point was out on his feet and the ref jumped in to bring the proceedings to a halt giving Kimbo a TKO victory. After the fight an exhausted and relieved Slice flopped onto the mat, clearly relieved to have survived the toughest test hes faced in his embryonic MMA career.

While Thompson and his corner complained of an early stoppage, given the severity of the ear injury and the four or five uncontested power shots by Kimbo its a tough case to make. Furthermore, it was consistent with the officiating all night which obviously was trying to err on the side of caution in the first MMA event on prime time major network television. The ref was quick to call several of the earlier bouts, and the ringside physician was involved in two more bouts. Clearly, everyone concerned wanted to take no chances and risk an ugly late stoppage or serious injury with a huge broadcast TV audience"many of whom were assumed to be MMA neophytes. The fights on the card that ended by stoppage could have arguably been called a second or two early, but as the old saying goes better a second too early than a second too late.

Despite the tough test faced by Kimbo Slice and a disappointing no-contest in the semifinal bout between Robbie Lawler and tough Scott Smith, EliteXC overall has to be very happy with how the event came off. The presentation was highly professional all night, and the announcing was superb. There was no question that Gus Johnson and Mauro Ranallo are solid pros, and Frank Shamrock is obviously a well spoken and experienced expert commentator but the three meshed together exceptionally well.

The emphasis from the start was on selling the sport of MMA, with the promotion taking a secondary role. This was done via nicely produced and informative instructional videos, which would be helpful to a first time MMA viewer but didnt come off as sophomoric to the seasoned aficionado. Given the often unpredictable nature of the sport, EliteXC has to be pleased with how everything came off and the results of the fights on the card.

Overall, it was a professionally produced and entertaining night of action. With the exception of the less than decisive victory by Kimbo in the main event, it couldnt have gone better for EliteXC had it been scripted. The end result is that both of their marquee names among the general public--Slice and Carano--remained undefeated.

If the design isn't well executed, you won't be happy with it, so always ask to see the artist's portfolio. This will help you judge the artist's skill in drawing the design you want. The skill level is especially important for complex designs. You need an artist who can color inside the lines. You should be comfortable with your artist and confident in his skills. You should also make sure the artist uses sterile procedures so you don't get an infection.

Deciding where on your body to place the tattoo can be another dilemma. If you work in a conservative atmosphere, it best to put your tattoo in an inconspicuous location. It's okay if it shows at the beach, but you don't want it to show at work. tattoos can be placed just anywhere on your body, so consider your reason for getting the tattoo when you choose it's location. Even if you aren't able to display your art at work, you can put on your shoulder or back.

If you find the perfect design, but it isn't tattoo art, take the picture to your local tattoo artist. He may be able to create a drawing of how the design might look if it were made into a tattoo. There are some restrictions on the way a photo or piece of art can be rendered in a tattoo. Skin isn't the same as canvass, and needles aren't the same as brushes. If you like the way your design looks as a tattoo you can have it put on your skin.

Having a tattoo is very cool, especially if it is something that really symbolizes you or your belief. Just search for a tattoo design in the places discussed above and you can be sure that you will get the perfect tattoo for yourself.

Take Your Company Public: Take Your Real Estate Business Public

By James Scott

Are you trying to raise capital for your business? Have you been turned down by institutional lenders for loans and corporate lines of credit? Why deal with the hassle and embarrassment of perpetual declines and risk losing your business because of lack of cash? Wouldn't it be great to raise capital quickly and easily for your company without constantly having to fill out scores of credit applications to stay afloat?

The important thing to realize is that if you are a small or medium size business and even if you are a start-up you can take your company public on OTCBB. When going public you really have two viable options: first, most people consider the IPO, but very few qualify because of the necessity of massive amounts of capital in reserve, SOX 404, extensive time in business and finding a broker dealer to take you through the process; the second option is taking your company public OTCBB (over the counter bulletin boards), this process is inexpensive, lightning fast, minimal qualifications and offers start-ups and small/medium size business the ability to raise gargantuan amounts of capital from investors worldwide.

There is no other way to go public on a legitimate platform. With Pink Sheets and Reverse Mergers you'll only get burned so buyer beware! Are you short on cash? A popular mechanism for raising the initial capital to go public via OTCBB is by using a Private Placement Memorandum (Regulation D Rule 504) with a built in mini/maxi.

Right when you hit that minimum you can start using capital to grow your company while simultaneously initiating the 'going public' process.

The moral of this story...even if you're a startup or small business owner you can raise capital by going public! Get informed and get funded.

Tips for Trading for Free Paperback Books

By Sara Gilmore

There are lots of pluses to trading paperbacks. You can basically recycle your books and make more space in your house. You'll be able to find literary works that you might not have bought otherwise because you'll be able to get more bang for your book. There are some tricks to making the most of your paperback trading experience.

Specify exactly what you are looking for. Sure, most of the books you get will be in pretty good condition simply because they have to meet the site's regulations. You can even set up alerts to be sent to other members before a trade is initiated so you don't receive smoke or fur filled books that will make you sneeze. If you want to keep the books a long time then you'll can specify that you only want books that look like they are new although other members may refuse to trade to you.

Be realistic about the condition of the books that you are sending out. Make sure that you get the correct edition of the book by entering the numbers on the back instead of just the title. Check to make sure that your item hasn't been damaged by water while it was in storage. Look at the book closely before you ever list it instead of just trying to remember which books you have on your shelf.

Explore the variety of books available to you. You can choose between paperback, audio and even hardback and you'll also have a choice of different editions. You might find that it costs more to ship out hardcover books.

Make the most of your swapping budget. Different swapping sites will place the value of a book in different ways. You'll need to be first in line at most companies to get a really popular book or anything that is new to the best seller's list. Do your research to be the first in line when a new book you want comes out. Stay on top of your emails so you don't miss out on potential swaps.

Send books through Media Mail to save money. This is budget friendly but may be too slow for your needs. You'll need a couple of weeks for an item to get there which may be too long for a trader to wait.

Cigar Styles and Sizes

By Dave Sabot

Anyone who has ever seen a humidor standing open, like a vast treasure vault, knows that cigars come in many different styles and sizes. Unlike many other things in life, both of these factors will have a singular effect on your enjoyment. For instance, the style and size of the cigar you choose will affect the taste of the cigar, the harshness of the smoke and even the temperature of the smoke you draw in from the cigar. Knowing a bit about the different cigar styles and sizes will help you know which you want to put your lighter to for your enjoyment.

Variations in Style

Cylindrical - This is the most widely used cigar style. This style of cigar allows for the even flow of air through the body of the cigar. This style is also the easiest to manufacture and is offered by most cigar makers. Generally, the cap on this style of cigar is rounded.

Torpedo - The torpedo is the second cigar style type and are less common than cylindrical cigars. Thanks to the tapered end, they provide a more direct flow of air through the cigar body. The shape of the torpedo utilizes a funnel end that is generally located at the cap (the head), although some cigar makers place it at the lit end (foot).

Size Variations

You need to know how the size affects the experience of the cigar before you decide to light it up. The selection of cigar size will contribute to many varying factors in your smoking experience.

Length - Longer cigars are usually preferable, simply because they provide a much cooler smoke and greater enjoyment. They are also usually smoother tasting and lack the harshness associated with shorter cigars.

Diameter -Ring gauge (diameter) of a cigar also plays a determining factor. This cigars generally have harsher smoke and will burn at a faster rate. However, a cigar that is wider will generally burn more slowly and will provide a smoother smoking experience.

Remember, also, before you contemplate using your lighter to set your cigar smoldering, longer, fatter cigars are often the most expensive. This is because it takes longer leaves and more of them to create the cigar. In essence, you're paying more because you're getting more.

Playing To Win Against Top Poker Players

How do professional poker players get so good? Why do they always win? What is it about them that makes them win over and over, and so much money? But the most important question is: How do I play like they do?

First, you need to learn what makes a top poker player so good. You have to start practicing your game and learn what it is the pros do to keep on top. Here are some tips the pros have handed out.

- Keep in mind that you can lose. No one wins every single hand, this is something that you just have to accept. Don't let it make you unhappy or angry, and don't give up simply because you've had a bad hand or two. No matter what happened yesterday, the odds stay the same. Keep in mind that you have the same chance of losing today as you did yesterday. The game doesn't care how good your day went, or how badly.

- Think about the big win. Everyone wants that pot. Ideally, the winner will be you. But remember, everyone has the same goal. Don't worry about them, though, focus on yourself. You're not there to make friends. In the game, look out for yourself and your hand. Keeping your eye on your cards will make you focused and give you a better chance to win.

- Keep your problems at home. A good player sits down and thinks of nothing but the game. If something happened that you can't stop thinking about, then don't play. If you bring your problems with you to the table, you will end up spending more time worried about them than thinking about winning.

- Dedicate yourself to the game. You have to focus on the table. Think about nothing else but the cards in your hand and the money in the pot. Don't let your mind wander away. If you really want to be a winner, you have to dedicate yourself 100% to the game.

Profession pokers are all about the game. They're not out there to make friends and socialize, they're there to win and win big. If you want to win like a pro, you have to play like one. The reason they look so serious when they play is because they are taking the game seriously.

These four tips should help you get started on the path to being a pro. But you also have to practice with your poker skills. The right attitude will only get you so far if you don't know how to play the game. Practice regularly and play as often as you can to get better. To be the best at the game you have to know and understand the rules as well as have the right mindset. If you put everything into being a top poker player, than you soon will be a pro. Keep these tips in mind, practice, practice, practice, and one day you will be the player other people want to be.

Solo Or Multiplayer Casino Games

Internet casinos resemble the La Vegas casinos in may ways. They use intense-audio effects, a large selection of games, and flashy graphics. On the Internet though you have a choice between multiplayer or solo casino games.

In Las Vegas there are also games that are played with other players such as poker, or the games that one plays by themselves such as the slots. However, with an Internet casino you normally get to choose how you play. Numerous games are played solo but other games are played with multiple players.

Games Played Solo

One game that normally is just a solo game is slots, offline or on the Internet. This is a machine that is played by one person.

With Internet casinos, many options exist for the player to go solo with the only opponent being the computer. One game that is normally played solo is blackjack. Several of the games that can be downloaded from the Internet casinos a meant for solo play opposing the computer.

Some of the enjoyment with the casino games really is the excitement of competing and winning against the other players. This is the reason the multiplayer versions for the casino games have been and continue to be highly popular.

Casino Games Played Multiplayer

There are numerous casino games that are designed for multiplayer for you to play. These games let you socialize with others, while you display your abilities for the game.

Most Internet multiplayer casino games also have a chat room available. This chat room give the players a chance to have conversation similar to what they would have in a Las Vegas casino. This makes the whole experience seem more realistic and helps you check out the competition since you can't see them. Slots even become interactive with having the chat room to use to talk to people playing it.

Multiplayer versions are offered for most of the kinds of casino games. From bingo to blackjack to poker, you will see these versions offered so that you have the ability to interact with other people, that are playing the games too.

Multiplayer versus Solo Casino Games

Multiplayer versions of casino games give you a different type of enjoyment for your experience in Internet gaming. You can even make new friends with playing these games. Having this adds to the Internet playing enjoyment.

Internet gaming is fun and convenient, some of the Las Vegas enthusiasm for the games are lost though, if you only play solo ones. It may be faster to play the solo game which you can play at your convenience, but you will get more social interaction with the multiplayer games.

You will have to see if the rooms are open for the mulitplayer games. Most of the online casinos have more than enough rooms available so you will not have to wait that long if all are full. It is well worth the wait though, because it is so much fun to play the multiplayer games, due to the social interaction.

Even through online casinos are so popular, competition in this industry is stiff, with casinos always in search of promotions that will attract gamers to their casino sites.

How Special Offers and Promotions Work

These casino special offers can be a boon to gamers and casinos alike. The casinos are happy to get new players' business and of course, gamers are thrilled with the free games, sign up bonuses, extra winnings and other casino promotions that they benefit from.

Casino special offers vary from one online casino to the next, as do the terms and conditions of these offers.

Win Big by Playing Progressive Jackpots

Playing Progressive jackpots is far more exciting than playing for a standard payout. These money pots can contain hundreds of thousands of dollars and it all goes to the lucky winner. No wonder everyone is buzzing about these big buck payouts. If you want to know more about how to get in on the action then read on and discover all you need to know about playing progressive jackpots.

Knowledge is King

Make sure you do your homework and understand the casino game and the rules regarding progressive jackpots before you decide to play. If you have a good understanding of the game and know how to calculate the odds it gives you a decided edge. Knowledge trumps even a wild card, and the more you know about jackpots and gaming the easier it is for you to determine the right play that will make you a winner.

Progressive Jackpot from A-Z

When you have a progressive jackpot it means that the amount of money in the pot increases each time the game is played. The payout is constantly tracked and displayed on screen to all players. Games that have a progressive jackpot are being offered on multiple sites so that they will attract the maximum interest. These types of jackpots are the highest payouts offered by casinos and gaming sites. As more players come to the table the jackpot grows. The higher the jackpot grows the more players come back to the table. This is why the payout amounts for these types of games grow so rapidly.

The only difference between slots or video poker that is played for a progressive jackpot and those that are being played for regular jackpots is the fact that the progressive jackpot pays the winner more money. There are no tricks or gimmicks involved, and the winning odds are unchanged.

Increasing the Jackpot Amount

Each time a progressive jackpot game is played and not won the jackpot amount increases.Playing for a progressive jackpot will require you to pony up a minimum number of credits if you want to be eligible for the money payout. You can still try the game without investing the total number of credits, but should you win you will not be awarded the jackpot. Any of the credits that are collected by players of a progressive jackpot game will be added to the jackpot amount, even those that come from players who have not entered enough credits to be eligible for the payout.

The money amount in a progressive jackpot grows rapidly because there are so many players trying their luck at multiple gaming sites around the world. Building a jackpot with an astronomical payout is not hard to do because of the high number of players. If you check out some of these jackpot games you will see that the payout amount is increasing almost every minute.

A progressive jackpot is reset to a minimum amount immediately after it has been won. Once this is done players can begin playing and build the jackpot amount up once again. Even when the amount is reset to a minimum number the jackpot will be rebuilt quickly.

Stick to your Playing Strategy

All casino games are played the same regardless of what type of jackpot you are playing for. A progressive jackpot does not change anything except the amount of the payout. You should remember this and stick to your usual playing style and game strategy. Do not allow those big dollar jackpots to make you forget the importance of careful, responsible playing. Some people are dazzled by the large dollar amounts they see onscreen and they start playing so free and loose that they soon have no hope of winning.

Don't be afraid to start playing progressive jackpots but just stick to your standard gaming play. Do not let large jackpot amounts intimidate you and cause to you forget the limits you set. Keep your gaming strategies in mind and never shift your playing style just because the jackpots are continuing to increase well into 6 numbers

When you opt to play a progressive jackpot game you are giving yourself a chance to win a really big payout. Still the odds for a win with these games are the same as they would be on any other game. However there is certainly more to be gained by winning one of these enormous payouts as opposed to the smaller payouts offered with those regular games.

Sports Headphones Ideal For Jogging And Running

By Freddy McCandless

If you like to listen to music while working out, running or playing sports then you should invest in a good pair of sport headphones. Sports headphones are specifically designed to stay in place as when you are moving as well as being very durable. Any headphones that are worn for sports should be sweat proof and deliver excellent sound quality.

Everyone's music preferences vary and most will listen using their own mp3 player or iPod. But the headphones that come with your music player are not the best for listening during physical activity and you should invest in a good pair of sports headphones. The most important parts of the sports headphones are the sound quality, if they are sweat proof and a good fit.

Nike Aero Sport headphones are a good option as they are sweat proof, very easy to clean and stay put no matter what you are doing. Users did notice that if you wear them for a very long time that they can become uncomfortable and that the sound quality is acceptable but not the very highest. But the design and fit are excellent and you do not have to worry about the cord getting in the way. These are a very affordable option for sports headphones and they last so you will get your money's worth.

The Sennheiser MX85 is one of the top rated sports headphones for joggers. The fit is more comfortable than most, especially for people with smaller ears. These come with different pieces to adjust the size to fit almost anyone. These are highly sweat resistant and don't fall out as readily as other earbuds.

The Sony MDR-AS50G is a well designed sport headphones for a good price. These headphones have excellent sound quality and the cable runs down the back of the head so there are no interferences. The fit of these headphones is excellent and many individuals do not need to use the optional loop over the ears band in order to keep them in place. The only down side is that they do stick out of your ears a bit so they can be difficult to conceal with your hair.

The jaybird JB-100 sport headphones are blue tooth headphones. These are excellent sports headphones and unlike many bluetooth devices they do not drop out. These ear buds stay in place using over the ear mounts and they stay in place very well. These type of sports headphones can be pricey as there is not a huge selection of blue tooth headphones so they can be pricey. The sound levels can be iffy as the bass control is not the best. If you want blue tooth sports headphones then these are an excellent choice.

One option for sports headphones that are well designed is the Arriva sports headphones. The cord is placed down the back of the head and it stays out of the way all the time. Arriva offers many different headphones and their top of the line headphones have excellent sound quality. You should try out the different models until you find a model that has the sound quality and fit you want.

Alliance Mages - What's The Best Race For Mage?

By John Roland

One question that always plagues people looking to start a new class is what race they should pick. While some will tell you just to pick something you like the look of, there are those of us who want every edge we can get in PvE and PvP. We'll discuss each races pros and cons, and figure out which Alliance race is the best race for mage.

Human is the first and probably most common choice for mage. For PvP, Every Man for Himself truly shines, along with the rogue and druid-busting Perception. Getting to equip two high-end PvE trinkets AND being better at catching stealthers? Humans are amazing for PvP.

But what about PvE? Every Man for Himself will let you get out of CC and back to DPSing on occasion, but that's very situational and won't mean much in the long run. And the 3% Spirit bonus is just laughable. If PvE is all you're interested in, I'd skip over human.

Next option for potential alliance mages is gnome. Escape Artist is another great PvP racial with limited PvE uses, as is Arcane Resistance...but Expansive Mind is an amazing all-around racial that will impact heavily on both PvE and PvP mages. So gnome is a great all around choice for anyone rolling mage.

Last choice for mage are the infamous blueberries, Draenei. Their HoT racial, Gift of the Naaru, can be handy in PvP and in some situations in PvE; not dying is a great way to improve your DPS. And even if you aren't in too much risk of dying, taking pressure off overtaxed raid healers can be helpful.

But the thing that is really worth noting on the Draenei racial list is Heroic Presence. This 1% hit bonus is great for PvP and PvE; miss the wrong spell in PvP and you're dead, and in PvE no stat is a bigger improvement on DPS if you are under the hit cap. Add in their last racial, a 2% passive shadow resistance, and Draenei is another decent mage race.

So none of the Alliance races is really a bad option, except for humans for PvE...but what is the best race for mage? Human wins handily in the PvP category; being able to toss on two high-end trinkets and blast away is just too amazing to pass up.

And for PvE? It kind of depends. If you are going to be running with other Draenei, then Heroic Presence is wasted, since it doesn't stack. And even then, the Intellect bonus from Gnome is hard to ignore. So I'd say in most cases, Gnome is going to pan out to be your best choice for PvE.

Hopefully this has answered your questions about which race to roll for Alliance mages. Horde races will be the next thing I write about, so be sure to give that a look if you aren't sure what faction you are going to play.

Multiple Pay Lines- If you want more than one chance to win then you have to take advantage of the multiple pay line slots. There are several variations out there that range from 3 lines to 200.

Optional Features

Even though all the features above are great, you can find RTG machines that let you win more and allow for more playing time. These include:

- Earning free spins.

- Bonus rounds.

- Progressive Jackpots

Some RTG Examples

Probably the only downfall to RTG machines is figuring out which ones you want to play. So here is a short list of slots you may want to try:

- Archilees Slot: offers free spin bonuses up to 25 spins at 3x

- Ronin: higher risk game with random bonus round to earn free spins

- Prince of Sherwood: a fun themed game that offers some unique bonus rounds

We will warn you; the first time you play RTG machines, you won't want to go back to the old ones you were playing. The overall experience can't be explained. Sure we could sit here and boast about them all day, but until you have the opportunity to play them yourself, it just won't be the same.

Learn To Play Guitar Music

By Jarvis D. Burris

Many of us have been sitting around a camp fire, singing with the others while someone else was playing the guitar and wished to be the on who was playing. Being able to play the guitar can make people look up to you, especially when you're a teenager. You are often invited to parties by people you barely know to play the guitar. In addition, if you're interested in playing the guitar, your parents won't probably make you attend other boring instrument lessons.

The Guitar

If you are willing to learn to play guitar music, the first thing you need is a guitar. If you don't have a guitar yet, you will probably need to purchase one. If you have a friend who knows how to play the guitar, bring him or her along when you pick one.

First you'll have to choose between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar. There are pros and cons to both. It is a little simpler to learn how to play guitar music on an electrical guitar, but you can also need to get a guitar wire, a guitar pick and a guitar amp. Additionally, there are plenty of buttons and knobs to stress about.

While it as a bit more difficult to learn to play guitar music on an acoustic guitar, this type of guitar is a lot less complicated. You will only need to buy the guitar and a guitar pick that costs about 50 cents. However, for a child who gets frustrated very easily, an electric guitar might be a better choice because it is easier to play and the progress will be faster.

Guitar Lessons

The next thing you need to do is find a guitar instructor. You've got the highest possibilities of finding a good instructor in your neighborhood by just asking around. If you are having difficulty, call a local music shop, as they can possibly offer guitar lessons. If they do not, they are typically able to counsel a teacher.

Older people who just need to learn some chords can get away with learning guitar from videos, books or online lessons. young people who need to learn how to play guitar music can benefit more from non-public lessons. A personal teacher can spot out your mistakes right away and help you correct them in time. In addition, he'll give you feedback and cause you to feel good about yourself when you progress.

General Advice

Before beginning to take guitar lessons, you might spend a while learning guitar basics and getting comfy with the instrument. This way you can start your first lessons feeling assured and being able to play the 1st exercises the coach will give you.

Learn to play the guitar music because you need to, not because somebody else makes you do it. Playing the guitar should be fun. If you're enjoying it, you may practice more and improve quicker. If you are not enjoying it, you could need a change perhaps a new teacher or a different schedule.

Many guitarists talk about the private satisfaction they are getting from having the ability to play the guitar. They are saying they get the best feeling by just sitting by themselves and playing the guitar. it's amusing to play for other people to. Pulling out a guitar in class or when you are besieged by mate will all of a sudden get you everyone's attention.

Video Slots Tutorial

When you go to an online casino, you probably know that video slots is among the more popular choices. They're very much like the games you would play in a standard casino, and they're also quite realistic.

Vital Information

Prior to pulling that handle, you will need to take some time to get to know the game you'll be playing. Makes sure you know everything about that particular game!

Every game is very different, and since that is the case it's sometimes hard to learn every single one of them. All of them have the same rules, but some have variants to make it more exciting. Fortunately there are instructions with each game, so read them thoroughly.

Understanding the Basics

You can begin by studying the buttons. It is important for you to understand which buttons you need to push to play the game. For more detailed information check the instructions, as they should detail exactly how to do it. You don't want to lose money just because you hit the wrong button!

Familiarize Yourself with the Features

There are some machines that feature bonuses, or even other features which is what makes every game so different. Make sure you're understanding every single feature so that you know what you are playing. Ask for help if you're not sure!

Go about it Intelligently

All casinos in real life require some measure of intelligence, and the same is true with online casinos. You need to come up with a plan, and know what you're going to do ahead of time, lest you lose all of the money you came with.

Limits, limits limits. There isn't anything more important than limits! It might sound boring, but remember that you're playing with real money here, and it certainly would be a shame to just lose everything. If you set out how long you're going to spend at each machine, you will lower the odds of losing it all.

It's best to ensure that you're getting the most out of a machine. Play when you have better odds at winning, though the odds are normally quite the same for the online game as they are for regular slots. In any case, play the highest bet that it will allow!

This is a very fun game to play, which is evidenced by the number of people that actually play it. This is a game of luck, and while the idea is to win, always understand that the odds are in favor of the house. You still have a chance to win though, so long as you read instructions and play with a plan!

Mind Over Matter - The Facts And Fiction

By Jackie Traveller

Many people doubt the validity of claims that you can change your own circumstances easily. In fact, most people believe that your current lot in life is the one you are stuck with. Understanding what 'mind over matter' is all about will change your outlook on life.

The truth is everything you have and all the things you would rather have are all mind over matter. Everyone on the planet has the capacity to master the principle of mind over matter, but you need to understand how to use your mind power to do it.

One of the ways you can begin to develop using mind over matter is to practice turning your negative thoughts into positive affirmations. Spend some time thinking about what it means to control every aspect of your life with your thoughts. You could bring about a better job, more money, happier relationships, a healthier body and a happier disposition easily when you know how.

Now think about the things in your life you are happy for. You might be proud of your achievements, pleased with your home, happy with your relationship. Each of these circumstances are also a direct result of your mind's power. After all, you made the choices that resulted in these things being in your life.

If you could master the mind over matter powers that could bring you more of the good things and less of the negative things, would you be interested?

Now imagine what power you could have by changing your own thought processes and beliefs. Imagine saying to yourself regularly 'I deserve a better job with much more money'. Say this to yourself firmly every time you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts. Your sub-conscious is listening and you will begin to reprogram it to accept these positive thoughts.

When your sub-conscious is aware of the positive reality you want, your choices will be influenced by more positive actions, which lead naturally to more positive outcomes.

Affirmations are an excellent way to begin the re-programming process. Take a moment to think about your current situation. What thought processes led you to make the choices you did? Did you accidentally sign the papers for so much debt? Did you get into your relationship by accident? Did you accept your current job by accident? Each of these choices was a result of your mind being programmed to believe that was what you needed at that time in your life.

Now think about what you want your future to look like. Mind over matter is about teaching your mind to create, look for and accept more positive results than the ones you've been accepting in the past.

If you want a more successful job then spend time to repeat affirmations to yourself daily. Tell yourself you deserve a higher paying, happier job. If you want a happier relationship, tell yourself often that you deserve a happier relationship. No matter what you want your life to look like, you can change the outcomes by programming your sub-conscious mind to look for the results you want.

Now think about the opposite approach. If you tell yourself regularly that you are beautiful and worthy of a great job with plenty of money, you will at first think 'that's not true'. But deep down your unconscious mind will be listening and the reprogramming will be happening slowly. Before you know it, you'll believe in yourself and your actions will lead to more positive outcomes.

It really is possible to live a life of joy and abundance once you have mastered the principles of mind over matter.

An Unforgettable New Year's Eve In Australia

By Jennifer Schellington

New Year in Australia? Why not! It's likely to be nice and warm which is far more civilized than being freezing cold in the northern hemisphere, waiting to welcome in the start of the year!

Given Australia's location and time zone, it is one of the first countries to welcome in the New Year. You can't fail to have noticed the amazing fireworks over the Sydney Harbour Bridge on your TV set that are broadcasted worldwide to mark the beginning of the New Year.

All the major cities in Australia put on a show. In Perth, the race course at Gloucester Park is the largest and most recognised display in Perth. The Brisbane River attracts over 50,000 people to witness the fireworks display and the Southbank attracts plenty a high proportion of visitors.

Melbourne and Sydney are however the key venues if you are planning to see in the New Year in Australia. Melbourne puts on a great display with great views from Alexandra Gardens. But it's nothing compared to the show you can expect in Sydney.

Each year the Sydney fireworks take on a theme. It has a symbol every year that is placed at the centre of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and brought to life with lights. Last years theme was creation, asking us all to rethink how we can make a difference to global warning. The 2010 theme is still to be revealed.

It's expected that half a million people will turn out to watch the Sydney fireworks. It's hardly surprising given they cost over $5m Australian Dollars.

So how can you beat the crowds to ensure you have a wonderful New Year's Experience?

Sydney Harbour is the place to go but it is also where all the crowds are. People start getting their place early - from around 3pm. There's lots of things to keep the crowd entertained including aerial flight displays. At 9pm the family fireworks show allow the younger audience to enjoy the fireworks too and to say this is the warm up, they are usually pretty amazing!

A good option is to get yourself on a boat. There is the Harbour of Light Parade which is a parade of rope lighted boats and you can buy tickets to be on these boats. You are guaranteed the best view in the house. The only consideration before you book is that you are usually required to be on the boat all evening - 7-1pm which can be tedious.

The Opera House itself, whilst expensive, is a great way to see in the New Year. Not only do you get treated to a night of opera, there is an after party where you have a perfect view of the bridge and fireworks. Stunning but expensive!

If you are looking for something that is more family orientated then head to Darling Harbour. It's prohibited to bring in alcohol and there is live entertainment from 6pm.

Taronga Zoo also does some good packages and has a perfect view of the bridge and opera house. You can enjoy a tour of the animals before tucking into your own picnic and of course the fireworks

If you are more into the dance and party scene then Bondi Beach is the place for you. There's no view of the Harbour Bridge and fireworks but this is where the party animals are. Every year there is a different event on the beach. This year it will be a dance theme with international DJ's spinning the decks. Carol Cox and Roger Sanchez are just two that are on the list for this year.

Whatever you decide to do for New Year, you are sure to have the most marvelous time here in Australia - it's an experience that you will never forget.
