Singapore Actual Day Photography

By Bruce Wong

On a wedding day the two most important people are the wedding couple. An excellent idea would be to isolate the couple from the ongoing celebrations so that the photographer can capture the beautiful intimate moments between them and create some everlasting portraits 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. But this does not always happen since time is rarely a luxury anyone has; on the actual day. 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.

When is the best time to take aside the bride and groom for some quality time with the photographer?

Since the couple will still look fresh, most photographers believe that the window before the reception is suitable for the portraits.

Award winning photographer Bradley Hanson says that sometimes the bride and the groom would want to start the portrait session even before the ceremony. 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. They should find ways to politely lose the relatives and guests to acquire the beautiful moments, so that they can be cherished for a lifetime.

A good portrait session on the actual day can be ruined by too many people trying to photograph the newly-weds. So the couple isn't distracted by anyone the photographer will choose to have the couple alone.

Most newly-weds start feeling uncomfortable before the camera when the portrait shoot is going to take place, says Shawna Herring, award winning photographer. Professional photographers try to talk to the camera-shy couple about things other than the portrait session so that they forget the camera is even there.

It is also recommended to choose a day before or after the wedding for the photo shoot and go with the photographer to a different location. To have a good relationship with the photographer this really seems to help loosen them up. Shortly after, couples sometimes forget the camera is even there.

There are thousands of reasons why the photographer might not achieve time alone with the wedding couple. Working together with the bride and groom will help to achieve the creative portrait session.

G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra - The Most Awaited Movie of The Year.

By Saisha Jones

Have you been a G.I JOE fan all along? Were you anticipating yet another G.I JOE movie with all the action & the adventure?

You will be happy to know that the most anticipated film of the year is back with a bang. Directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Van Helsing), G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra stars a hot young cast including Channing Tatum (Public Enemies), Sienna Miller (Factory Girl), Marlon Wayans (Dance Flick), Rachel Nichols ("Alias") , Joseph Gordon-Levitt ((500) Days of Summer), and Ray Park (X-Men), as well as veteran actors Christopher Eccleston (Gone in Sixty Seconds) and Dennis Quaid (Vantage Point).

The story of the movie follows two American soldiers, Duke and Ripcord, who join the G.I. Joe Team after being attacked by MARS troops. G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a 2009 American live-action film adaptation of the G.I. Joe toy franchise. Filming took place in Downey, California and Prague's Barrandov Studios, and six different companies handled the visual effects.

In the beginning of the plot of the movie the Scotsman Klan McCullen is accused of selling weaponry to both the Scots and French. Rather than being executed for treason, the jury brands his face with a white-hot mask in order to humiliate him. A nanotechnology-based weapon capable of destroying an entire city is created by weapons expert James McCullen (Christopher Eccleston) in the near future. His company MARS sells four warheads to NATO, and the U.S. Army is tasked with delivering the warheads. Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) are delivering the warheads when they are ambushed by the Baroness (Sienna Miller), who Duke recognized to be his ex-fiance Ana Lewis. Duke and Ripcord are rescued by Scarlett (Rachel Nichols), Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). The warheads are taken to The Pit, G.I. Joe's command center in North Africa, and upon arriving rendezvous with General Hawk (Dennis Quaid), the head of the G.I. Joe Team. Hawk takes command of the war-heads and excuses Duke and Ripcord, only to be convinced to have them join his group after it is revealed that Duke & Baroness know each other.

Armed with the coolest hi-tech gadgets and weapons, including jaw-dropping accelerator and camouflage suits, G.I. JOE is the last line of defense against those intent on world domination. The G.I. Joe team travels the world from the Egyptian desert to the polar ice caps and the streets of Paris in a high stakes pursuit of COBRA, an evil international organization threatening to use a technology that could bring the world to its knees.

The filming of this movie began on February 11, 2008, in Los Angeles, California. The Downey sound-stage was chosen as Paramount needed a large stage to get production underway as soon as possible. The first two levels of the Pit were built there, to complement the rest of the building which would be done with special effects. Downey also housed Destro's MARS base in the Arctic, his legitimate weapons factory in an ex-Soviet state, as well as various submarines interiors, including a SHARC (Submersible High-speed Attack and Reconnaissance Craft) manned by two G.I. Joes.

Six different visual effects companies worked in The Rise of Cobra, the most prominent being Digital Domain, which handled the Paris action, sequences and the opening convoy sequence. For the Eiffel Tower destruction, a special code for depicting how the crumbling metal works was written. To create the digital Eiffel Tower, the technicians had access to the original building plans, and built a digital model so complex that could not fit in a single file.The nanomites used two different proprietary software for their depiction, one by Digital Domain, and another by, which also created tools to generate 3D cloud and sky environments for the aerial scenes. Many scenarios were almost fully developed by computer-generated imagery, such as the landing platform of the Pit, the Cobra ice caverns, and the final underwater battle.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a mind-blowing movie with all the latest effects & adventures. G.I JOE was the biggest hit which ruled the box office for years & its sequel is creating a widespread craze all over.

Boston Bruins' Scoring Legend Phil Esposito

By Ross Everett

Although many of his offensive records have now been left in the dust by Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, former Boston Bruins/New York Rangers center Phil Esposito is still regarded by hockey experts as one of the greatest players in NHL history. He's forever enshrined in hockey's hall of fame along with brother, goaltender Tony Esposito.

Esposito was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and his prodigious hockey talent quickly became apparent. He was signed by the Chicago Blackhawks as a teenager, and made his NHL debut in'64. In'67, Esposito was traded to the Boston Bruins along with Ken Hodge and Fred Stanfield. Within a few years Hodge and Stanfield blossomed into All Stars, while Esposito quickly took his place alongside his former teammate Hull as the best scorer in the league.

It was as a Bruin that 'Espo' began his onslaught against the NHL record book.. In'69, he became the first NHL player to top the 100 point mark (combined goals and assists) for the season"he obliterated the record with 126 points, which would be the first of six times that hed top the century mark. He topped 100 points in five straight seasons between'71 and'75, missing a sixth straight season by a single point with 99 in'70.

Esposito's greatest single season was in'70-71, when he destroyed the NHL's single season goal scoring mark with 76. That record stood until Wayne Gretzky of the Edmonton Oilers broke it in'81-82. Even now, only four other players including Gretzky have scored more than 150 points in a season and only five others have scored more than 76 goals in a season. Perhaps the most amazing element of Espositos game was the frequency with which he put the puck on net"Espo had 550 shots on goal in'70-71. No one has since come close.

In'75, Esposito was traded to the New York Rangers where his experience, intelligence for the game and nose for the puck made him a valuable component of the Broadway Blueshirts offense and he was named team captain. Until the very end of his career, he remained a dangerous scoring threat that all opposing teams were forced to reckon with.

After his retirement in'75, he remained active in hockey. He served as the GM of the Rangers before helping secure an expansion team for Tampa, Florida in'92. Esposito served as the President and GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning until'98. Esposito now hosts a daily hockey radio show on XM Radio, and has even done some acting appearing in a recurring role as a fire chief on the TV series Rescue Me.

Finding A C Programming Networking Course Examined

By Jason Kendall

Matching your computer course or training to the working world is essential in this day and age. In addition, it's also necessary to choose one that you will get on well with, that suits your personality and abilities.

Pick out training for user skills like Microsoft Office packages, or more advanced IT professional certifications. Technologically advanced courses will set you on the right track to achieve your goals.

By utilising modern training techniques and keeping costs to a minimum, there's a new style of course provider offering a better quality of training and support for a fraction of the prices currently charged.

An effective training program should also include accredited simulation materials and exam preparation packages.

Be sure that the practice exams aren't just asking you the right questions from the right areas, but additionally ask them in the way that the actual final exam will structure them. It throws students if they're met with completely different formats and phraseologies.

Why don't you test whether you're learning enough by doing tests and mock ups of exams before you take the actual exam.

For the most part, a normal trainee doesn't have a clue what way to go about starting in Information Technology, or even what area is worth considering for retraining.

As having no solid background in the IT industry, how could any of us understand what any job actually involves?

Generally, the way to deal with this dilemma in the best manner flows from an in-depth chat, covering some important points:

* Which type of individual you are - what tasks do you enjoy doing, and on the other side of the coin - what you definitely don't enjoy.

* Why you're looking at stepping into computing - it could be you're looking to conquer a life-long goal such as self-employment maybe.

* Any personal or home requirements you have?

* Many students don't properly consider the amount of work required to get fully certified.

* Having a good look at how much time and effort you can give.

To cut through the barrage of jargon, and find the most viable option for your success, have a good talk with an advisor with years of experience; someone who appreciates and can explain the commercial realities and of course all the qualifications.

A skilled and professional consultant (as opposed to a salesman) will want to thoroughly discuss your current experience level and abilities. This is useful for working out your study start-point.

If you've got any live experience or some accreditation, it may be that your starting point of study is not the same as someone new to the industry.

If you're a new trainee embarking on IT studies from scratch, it's often a good idea to avoid jumping in at the deep-end, kicking off with some basic PC skills training first. Usually this is packaged with most types of training.

Of course: the training program or a certification isn't what this is about; the career that you want is. Far too many training organisations put too much weight in the actual accreditation.

Avoid becoming part of that group that choose a course that seems 'fun' or 'interesting' - and end up with a certification for something they'll never enjoy.

It's well worth a long chat to see what industry will expect from you. What particular qualifications you'll need and how to gain experience. It's also worth spending time considering how far you wish to build your skill-set as it will often present a very specific set of accreditations.

We advise all students to chat with experienced industry personnel before following a particular training programme. This gives some measure of assurance that it contains the relevant skills for that career path.

Helio Gracie: Father Of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

By Ross Everett

Gracie family patriarch and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu pioneer Helio Gracie died in early 2009 in Rio de Janeiro at the age of 95. Its impossible to overestimate his influence on martial arts, and particularly his pathbreaking role in what is now the sport of mixed martial arts. The Gracie family name will forever be synonymous with Brazilian sports, jiu-jitsu, MMA and the UFC"not only due to Helios own accomplishments but the legacy he created both by training others and through his family.

Helio Gracie began his training in mixed martial arts early, and by his teenage years was already teaching judo. While he had no problem mastering the theoretical aspects of judo, he found that many of its techniques were less effective for a practitioner with a smaller build. Along with his brother Carlos, Gracie began to work out his own fighting system by adapting many of judo's techniques and making them more a product of leverage rather than brute strength. This led to the creation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), frequently called Gracie Jiu Jitsu in his honor.

Gracie also had a professional fighting career of his own, taking on champions from other fighting disciplines in an early version of modern MMA. These bouts were grueling, unregulated affairs with rules that were often made up as they went along and time limits that seem barbaric by todays standards. By his own recollection, he had 15 fights against the top fighters of his day. These included pro wrestlers, boxers and other martial arts specialists.

Gracie's most famous opponent was against legendary Japanese judoka Masahiko Kimura. Gracie fought bravely in a losing cause, and ironically may have enhanced his reputation in defeat. He refused to submit to a reverse arm bar (the move that is now known as a 'kimura' in honor of its inventor), and the fight ended after his brother Carlos threw in the towel after Helio's arm had been broken.

Gracie's greatest impact, however, may have been through his progeny which is an important part of Brazilian sports and mixed martial arts even today. Royce Gracie is well known as the first UFC superstar, while sons Rickson Royler, Renzo have also achieved considerable fame in professional MMA. At the time of his death, Helio Gracie was a 6th Dan Judo black belt and the only living 10th degree master of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

The cause of Gracies death was officially given as natural causes. He had been having stomach problems for several days prior to his passing, and was admitted to a Rio hospital for this reason. His seriously epic last words will go down as a fitting envoi to a man who gave so much of himself to fighting:

"I created a flag from the sports dignity. I oversee the name of my family with affection and nerves of blood.

Good Things You Can Do When Camping Using An RV

By Larry Forest

Vacation is one thing that most people really enjoy doing. One type of vacation is really popular. That type of vacation is camping. This vacation is something that appeals to a lot of people.

One of the best ways to go camping is to go in an RV. Well this article we would like to look at the many benefits of using an RV to go camping.

The first big benefit of using an RV to go camping is you get to have all the amenities that you are used to. Some things like toilets and running water appeals to many people. Of course there are a few people who really like to rough it when 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 when you have an RV if you choose to visit another campsite, the only thing you have to do is load up and go. 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 main advantage of that is that it is extremely easy to use and comfortable.

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.

This strategy worked well for Thompson until the final round. 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.

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.

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.

Hints On How To Have A Successful Wedding Photography

By Brina Anderson

Aside from the person who actually conducts your wedding ceremony, possibly the most important element of your wedding is the wedding photographer. This individual has the responsibility of recording your important day and endeavoring to catch every memory on film. It is very important that you see first the work of different photographers so you will be able to choose the best one whose style and vision matches what you would like to have on your wedding day.

So that the photo sessions are smooth, here are a few tips:

1. List all the photographs you want to have taken. State precisely what you want! Include who and what you want photographed, when it should be taken, and where the photo should be made. It is necessary to mark off the amount of coverage you prefer as well. The wedding day can be divided into four photographic sessions which are: the pre-wedding photos, the ceremony, the organized set shots or location shoot, and the reception.

2. Talk! Let people know where to be for the photo shoot and when to be there. Be certain that they understand when, where and what to wear.

3. Ensure that the wedding photographer comprehends all your requirements which should be agreed to in writing and signed by both parties.

4. Respect the process. Granted, this event is about you. But if you are feeling out of control, think about what the photographer must be going through trying to keep everything organized for a good photo. Bridesmaids, groomsmen, kinfolk, kids, well-wishers -- all in a bustle, conversing, laughing, and obstructing the way.

The History Of Reno's Mapes Hotel

By Ross Everett

On January 31, 2000, the historic Mapes Hotel in Reno was imploded by 75 pounds of explosives tucked into the art-deco structures support columns. The destruction of the Mapes put an end to years of efforts to preserve the building via lawsuits, redevelopment proposals, and grass roots action. The National Trust for Historic Preservation took up the cause of the Mapes, and challenged the destruction in a suit that eventually reached the Nevada Supreme Court.

While the logic and necessity of demolishing the Mapes is very questionable, one thing that is certain is that the hotel was an important part of Northern Nevada history. The opening of the Mapes in'47 ushered in a new era in casino gambling, and changed the economy and way of life in Nevada forever. The Mapes was actually the first property in the country to combine a hotel, casino and live entertainment under the same roof. It also became the hotel of choice for celebrities staying in Northern Nevada. Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe stayed at The Mapes during the filming of 'The Misfits'. Joseph McCarthy, America's famed anti-Communist crusader, admitted to a reporter over cocktails in the Mapes Lounge that he really didn't have a list of Communists in the US despite his frequent and vitriolic insistence to the contrary.

In the 50s and 60s it became, along with Lake Tahoes Cal-Neva Lodge the place to be seen in Northern Nevada. The top floor, window-walled Sky Room showcased performances by the legends: Sinatra, Louis Prima, Mae West, Milton Berle, Sammy Davis, Jr., and the Marx Brothers among others. Subsequent years were not kind to downtown Reno but the Mapes prospered during the 60's and 70's. The hotel finally closed in'82, due more to financial difficulties experienced by the Mapes family caused by one of their other Northern Nevada gaming properties than anything else.

Reno has yet to experience the sort of growth that has been seen in Southern Nevada, and for that reason the destruction of the Mapes is more open to debate than the hotel demolitions to the south. Even the demolition of The Sands--perhaps the most historically significant casino in the state--is hard to argue against given the inability of such a small property to compete in the current Las Vegas marketplace and in light of the value of the mid-strip real estate.

This is not the case in Reno, where land and buildings for development in virtually every casino area are abundant. The official reason that the Mapes had to come down was that the city needed the land--which sits along the banks of the Truckee River--to expand its riverside district of art galleries, restaurants and shops. The revitalization of downtown Reno is definitely needed and a legitimate goal, but at the same time it is hard to think that the Mapes was a barrier to this. Indeed, a number of proposals for redevelopment including office space, artists lofts and upscale senior housing would have probably served to enhance the livability of the downtown area. For whatever reason, the City Redevelopment Authority wouldn't approve any of the proposals and the fate of the Mapes was sealed.

The behavior of the City Redevelopment Authority throughout the process has come into question. Overlooking the Truckee River, the hotel was perfectly placed between the downtown casino area and the riverfront district. In'96, the city purchased the htoel and began accepting proposals for redevelopment. Despite receiving a number of proposals that made sense both in terms of their financial workability and positive impact on the downtown area, the City Redevelopment Authority nixed all of them and insisted that the hotel be razed.

Following the 2000 demolition, the lot remained vacant for over a year until a temporary ice skating rink was hastily constructed the following winter. The property has been improved and the rink is now permanent which, while not in itself a bad use for the land, further calls into question the efficacy of demolishing the structure. It would appear that the city had no clue what to do with the land, but for whatever reason wanted the building brought down. This has led to all sorts of conspiracy theories, from the City Development Agency having financial incentive to raze the hotel to rumors that the building was haunted and was destroyed to keep the Reno area from being overrun with paranormal activity. Whatever the reason for the decision, the city of Reno has lost a beautiful art deco treasure that played a significant part in the economic growth of the state.

Know The Side Effects Of Creatine

By Christian James

Creatine is a chemical substance that a lot of people know very little about. It is for this reason that people suffer from various debilitating illnesses because they know very little about the creatine in supplements and the side effects of creatine. Therefore it is important to shed a bit of light on this potentially harmful substance.

Creatine is taken in the form of supplements but in actual fact the body makes creatine of its own in the kidneys and liver. The main use of creatine is to give the muscles the energy to carry out normal daily activities. When creatine is produced by the body a large portion of it is stored in the muscles and the rest is used for other purposes by the body. But sportsmen make use of inorganic creatine supplements to supplement the creatine the body manufactures.

When you take creatine supplements carelessly you can pollute your body with creatine. Now when creatine is in the body it has a natural ability to absorb water. So when you have too much creatine in your system the absorption of water from different parts of the body can lead to muscle cramps owing to dehydration.

Owing to the ability of creatine to absorb water weight gain can be an unforeseeable consequence of having too much creatine in the system. So when creatine is stored in the muscles in excess amounts what eventually happens is that these areas eventually get clogged with water resulting in weight gain.

Diabetes is something that can become an intolerable burden for a person who takes creatine supplements. Normally people who take creatine supplements consume glycemic sugars to promote the easier absorption of creatine. Subsequently sugar levels will be increased significantly to the point where natural body insulin is insufficient to break them down. And when the body ahs excessive sugar a person can trigger diabetes or even worsen it.

Apart from these there are other side effects of creatine. You can easily develop kidney stones or heat exhaustion owing to the absorption of water by creatine. It is also possible to cause damage to the blood vessels; kidneys and liver if your diabetes worsens.

Create Cartoon Me Face

By Carmeline Calvistacro

I always wanted to be able to draw a cartoon me face from a photograph. One of the reasons it is tricky to draw a cartoon me face is that it takes years of practice. I can trace and draw simple cartoons, but to draw a cartoon from just taking a look at a photograph is a lot more difficult

It requires a lot of patience and ability to make the cartoon look like the person's photograph, without making the caricature look too childish. At the time I wasn't attempting to draw cartoon me face, it just turned out that my drawings looked that way.

I'd take my box of 64 Crayola crayons and use the tiny sharpener on the back. I'd pick my favorite colors whether or not they matched or not I did not care. I might try to draw a cartoon me face of my buddies and they'd giggle.

Drawing a cartoon me face of someone is still my biggest challenge after years of training and several art classes. I sometimes get frustrated drawing someones eyes because they are the most difficult to draw and can take hours of practice.

You can add lots of colors to your drawings to make them come alive. Drawing women and their eyes is much more difficult than drawing men. I like to draw a cartoon me face of men and then add a beard and mustache. They are easy to draw and really improve the definition of the cartoons features.

If you need to learn how to draw a cartoon me face you should consider taking an art class. These classes will teach you step-by-step ways to make your drawings look more real and lifelike.

Art classes are comparatively cheap and offered at art colleges and community colleges everywhere. A new way to make a cartoon me face is to download a computer program to help you with the drawing. Finding the right program is straightforward and many of them are completely free.

Cartoon hobbyists know that cartoon drawing uses a lot of precious time but can be very rewarding. If you can just look at a photo and draw a cartoon me face quickly without much effort you are considered very skilled in the art world.

Creating a cartoon me face of someone from a photograph makes a great gift and is sure to make all of your friends and family laugh. Just practice for a few hours and you will be drawing cartoon me avatars of yourself and everyone you know.

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.

Mastering Guitar Hero 3

By James Laney

Everyone that has touched the game knows that Guitar Hero 3 is almost impossible to put down once you get started. After spending a little bit of time on it, however, you will discover that it is more challenging than the earlier versions. Fear not though, this article is going to show you some of the secrets to success at Guitar Hero 3 and have you playing like a seasoned veteran of the game.

The easiest and most common mistake people make when getting started on Guitar Hero 3 is to just jump in with both feet and try to blow through all of the levels too quickly without actually taking the time to truly understand the game and, just as importantly, the controller. With this game you really need to take it slow and train your hands and fingers how to operate the controller, almost like learning to play a real guitar. After doing this you will be ready to tackle the more advanced levels of the game.

The first level of the game is deceptively easy and most people find themselves blowing through without taking the time they should to familiarize themselves with the game and how it is played. Rushing through these early games without spending the time to learn the necessary game play techniques will leave a player unable to progress in the higher levels.

Do yourself a big favor and do not try to see how fast you can move on to the next levels. If you take this approach you will almost certainly find yourself completely over your head and be destroyed when you get to the upper levels of advancement. It is not uncommon for players who do this to get so frustrated with the game that they give up on it and put it away. We do not want that to happen to you so just take your time and master each level before moving on.

I would also suggest that you take a friend along for the ride when you are trying to beat the expert levels of Guitar Hero 3. It is a lot easier to achieve something when you have someone else pushing you and giving you a little bit of support when you start missing those harder notes.

When you are playing alone, it is pretty easy to get frustrated and just put the game away. When you are playing in co-op mode, you are playing for both you and your friend and that little extra bump may be all you need to put you over the top in Guitar Hero 3.

There are even more new additions than this, so you have got to check it out.

Another title to check out is Super Mario Bros Wii. Nintendo just recently released this incredible title in hopes to give the 1980s classic a much-needed face-lift. Staying true to the design though, the new Super Mario is also side scrolling and two dimensional, very much like its inspiration. Some new features are character selection and a multiplayer feature that allows you and up to three others to simultaneously attempt to complete levels.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl was a title released for the Wii that had an incredible amount of hype. The popular franchise began picking up steam with its various edition released on the Nintendo Gamecube. The latest installment to this impressive franchise has many of the classic characters and boasts controls that allow interactive game play to move this franchise into the future. This was a highly anticipated title and a title that should be included in your Wii game library.

Another re-release of a popular title was Mario Kart Wii. This game was huge when it was released on the Super Nintendo, and then saw nearly equal success when Mario Kart: Double Dash was released on the Nintendo Game Cube. None of these games have been as anticipated, or as purchased as the installment released for the Wii. This game features all of your favorite characters relative to the Mario Bros. Franchise, while allowing the added element of motion sensitivity to make every turn all the more exciting.

The above named games are more for the whole family. Nintendo has been working very hard to release games that cater to the whole family as well as the older individual. One such game released for the more experienced gamer is The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This game finds its footing with the same base as all of the others in the franchise. You are Link, the Princess is Zelda, you all live in Hyrule and the world is in danger. The solution rests in your ability to save both the Princess and the world. Through exciting game play allowing you to sword fight (including using a shield), shoot a bow and arrow, amongst many other impressive things. This game received an overall rating of 8. 8 on a scale to 10, which is a pretty impressive feat given that this is among the first to have been released on the Wii.

The last one on this list is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This title showcased a side of Nintendo that many were delighted to see. They are the kings of family games, but they might also have the capacity to bring you some incredible mature titles as well. This installment of the popular franchise sends you through battle situations unlike anything you have seen in the franchise history.

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.

Contact Care and X-Ray Eyes

By Myer Thompson

Here's the tagline: Suddenly he could see through clothes, flesh... and walls! Riveting, eh? Well, what can you say about the '63 classic, X: THE MAN WITH X-RAY EYES. It's a bona fide cult classic and it's hip to dig these days. Hipsters love nothing more than to quibble about the alternate ending and whether or not Ray Milland, the titular man with X-ray eyes, did it all for the money. The answer: of course he did it for the money.

Think of it as an Oedipus Rex for the mid-Sixties zeitgeist. A brilliant researcher, played by Milland, discovers a compound that when squirted on the eyes allows the person to see through a patient. It's contact lens care sans the contacts. It's X-ray in a bottle. It's out there. Of course, his quest to save humanity from incredible suffering backfires, as it should given that it's a Roger Corman flick.

So, the Man With the X-Ray Eyes accidentally kills a colleague. So he goes on the lam and helps diagnose diseases and ends up losing his mind and having to wear dark glasses to shield his sensitive eyes. Did I mention his eyes have turned completely black? He has a turn as a carnie and a gambler before he sets out into the desert to be alone.

Hey, when you can see through everyone, the fun kind of goes out of having people around. But, as movie logic would have it, Milland stumbles upon a tent revival in the middle of the desert. When he tells the preacher that he is beginning to see through the very fabric of the universe, the preachers quotes Bible scripture: "If thy eye offends thee, pluck it out."

Milland takes the advice to heart in a fit of relief and madness and gouges out his eyes. Pleasant. Of course, but this point in the film he's completely lost his mind. He claims to be able to see through the earth itself. The hipster controversy comes with whether or not the alternate ending had him screaming, "I can still see!" Corman denies that was ever said, but the rumor persists.

You might not have X-ray drops you can squirt on your eyeballs, but if you're sporting contacts, make sure you have an adequate contact lens care routine or else you'll be screaming like Ray Milland when it comes time to take them out.

Categories of Goldfish

By Edward Collins

There are different varieties of goldfish and these are mainly distinguished through dissimilar head shape, looks and colors. Certain goldfish have bulged up eyes or those that face upwards. The placement of the fins is a unique feature used for differentiating the goldfish types. The tail's shape aids in their classification because some comprise split tails, others double tails while others have single tails.

Fantail goldfish have exceptional unique tails. Making a distinction of the different types of goldfish is important since, the fish responds to diverse factors such as water temperature and breeding methods.

Goldfish are classified in four different groups that ought to be taken into account when examining the various goldfish categories.

One tailed goldfish: Such fish has a slender body and is available in several colors such as orange, variegated among others. Fish in this category include Shubunkis, which includes Bristol or London, Commons and finally Comets.

Double Tail goldfish have bodies that are slender, although coming in different colors such as white, white with a mixture of orange, orange, white though red lipped, as well as gill covers and fins.

Double tailed Dorsal finned goldfish are oval shaped with billowy and long fins. The colors of the fish differ significantly. The fish in this category include Demekins, Ryukin, Pearlscaples, Pompoms, Moors, Veiltails, Orandas, Fantails and Telescopes.

Double tail goldfish without dorsal fins are the same as their counterparts with dorsal fins since they are oval shaped with billowy and long fins and come in various colors. They include Eggfish, Celestial, Bubble Eye and Lionhead.

Comet goldfish can be able to live in severe cold environment and is available in various colors mostly yellow with marks of black, orange and red.

This Is Why You Need To Get A Backyard Swing Set

By Kyle Loroft

It used to be that parents weren't faced with the problem of their kids not getting enough exercise. Thirty years ago it didn't take much encouragement to scoot the kids out of the house no matter what the weather. Parents just told them to go out, play, and be home in time for supper.

Unfortunately, it just isn't like that today. Ensuring that your children are getting adequate amounts of physical activity is vital, and it is the parents' job to make sure that this happens safely.

A backyard swing set can be a great asset to parents who are trying to help their kids get more exercise. Here are 3 reasons why:

1. It's A Blast!

If the exercise they're getting is boring, children will do everything in their power to avoid it. But if you have a cool wooden swing set just outside the back door, kids have endless access to hours of fun. The next time you pass by a playground, listen for the sounds of laughter from kids and adults. It's always there. With a swing set virtually at their fingertips, kids won't think twice about going outside and being active; in fact, they'll be having such a great time that they probably won't even notice they're getting exercise.

2. Backyard Swing Sets Are Also Safe

You can keep an eye on your kids when they're in the backyard on the swing set, unlike at some public parks where you constantly need to watch out for their safety. The market is full of varieties of swing sets that are fully loaded with features such as slides and climbing walls; in fact, some of the fancy ones compare with theme park designs.

3. A Swing Set Creates Family Time

A backyard swing set is a wonderful and ordinary place for kids and parent to enjoy a laid back Summer evening. The kids can swing and enjoy a carefree time while mom and day grill some burgers and relax knowing just how tired those kids are going to be soon! Today's tough economic times mean parents must create vacations at home rather than embarking on an expensive trip; adding a back yard swing set can make a stay-at-home vacation a lot more exciting.

For some good old-fashioned fun that will lure your kids away from their video games, computers and the TV, and get them some fresh air and exercise, get a wooden swing set for the backyard.

The 1st is by choosing a gathering profession for your character. These professions can really help you make a substantial amount of gold in the game that you can use for various purposes.

One example of a gathering job is mining. Engineers and blacksmiths in the game need miners to produce the necessary raw materials to fabricate weapons and armors to name two. For iron and mithril, you should visit the Arathi Highlands. If you need thorium and Arcane Crystals, get your character to mine in the Eastern Plaguelands and the Burning Steppes.

Skinning is another profession that can potentially make a lot of gold for your character. The Stranglethorn Vale is a good location to kill creatures for a quest, such as raptors and panthers.

Fishing is another great way to make money, especially if you fish for pearls. Black pearls can sell for 10 Gold per stack and one Golden Pearl can sell for 30 gold. Herbalism is another great profession that your World of Warcraft character can do. For high profit, look for plagueblooms in the Eastern and Western Plaguelands, and ghost mushrooms in the Hinterlands.

You should also try combining the gathering profession with the service profession. You will be able to use the materials you gather to craft various items.

Alchemy and herbalism are 2 great professions that work very well together. Alchemy needs herbs to make potions and herbalism is a fantastic profession to gather the herbs you need.

Combining leatherworking with skinning profession is a great way to earn gold. You can use the leather you gather to make armor and save a lot of money. You can also sell the things you craft to other players for gold.
