You may have seen some of the ads and come-ons for major casinos that provide perks and bonuses to their high rolling guests. These can be pretty tempting, and they may have you salivating as you consider what you could do with the free plays, bonus chips and other extras. The only trouble is that the casinos are far away and can involve a lot more financial outlay than you have available at the moment. Okay, maybe a trip to Atlantic City, Las Vegas or Monte Carlo isn?t in the stars for you just yet. Don't worry, because you can still enjoy online gambling and take advantage of some of the best casino bonuses in the world.
Online casino action is taking the gambling industry by storm, and the different establishments are all vying with each other for your business. To make you become a loyal patron there are plenty of great casino bonuses being offered and the best thing about them is that they are free perks to thank you for playing. Now, come on, just how cool is it that you literally get paid to throw down at some of the top virtual gambling sites throughout the world.
Before getting started it is a good idea to make sure that you have a good idea of what all of the various bonuses are. The typical bonuses that you will find being offered is that of the:
No Deposit Bonus-this is a true freebie deal and is exactly what it says, 'no deposit'. You are not required to deposit any kind of funds to try this bonus out on any games of your choosing.
Matching Bonus- when you open an account with an online casino you will be given a matching bonus amount. These can differ from site to site and may be a dollar per dollar match up to a certain amount, or the casino may double or triple the amount of your deposit. Check the sites for yourself and see where you can find the best deals.
Monthly Casino Bonus- this is a popular offer at many top casino sites. Once you sign up you are guaranteed to be given a certain amount of free chips each month to play as you wish.
Percentage Bonuses- these are similar to the matching bonuses, but are calculated to an exact percentage of your deposit. For instance a 50% percentage bonus would let you receive $100 worth of free chips with a $200 deposit.
Cashback bonuses- these are highly desirable and less common than most other top casino bonuses. With a cashback offer you will be repaid the amount of your losses during a specific time of play.
Refer A Friend- this is another bonus offer that is specifically designed to help the casinos build goodwill and a stronger customer base. Each time you invite people to join and play you have the opportunity to add chips and money into your account. If your friends should become playing you will have money deposited in your name by the casino's management.

Don't Just Buy Any Ski or Snowboarding Goggles - Get The Right Ones!
You need extra protection for your eyes when skiing or snowboarding and specialist goggles can provide that extra protection while shielding them against harmful UV rays. In our minds, there is no question that you should have specialist goggles to protect your eyes, sunglasses certainly are not enough. Please don't just buy what you believe to be high fashion, as there are a few things you should think about before you buy.
One advantage of goggles rather than sunglasses is that most have anti-misting and venting properties. This is particularly useful if you are a beginner as you are more likely to fall causing more misting of the lenses. Peripheral vision is also greatly improved with goggles rather than sunglasses (unless they are a wrap-around style). Goggles are also not a problem if you wear contact lenses or prescription glasses but you do need to make sure the goggles are large enough to accommodate your frames.
An important element you should look for when buying ski/snowboarding goggles must of course involve the lenses. You may intend to get polarised lenses but consider this carefully as they do have a negative side. Yes, they will reduce glare, but equally, they will reduce the ability to see any icy patches while skiing. The colour of the lenses you choose for your goggles should be determined by when you normally intend to use them. For example, yellow/orange tints will enhance the contrast and make it easier to pick out bumps or objects in the snow, however, they are best used in low to moderate light or foggy conditions. Dark green or bronze chrome lenses are more comfortable for very bright sunlight but would be disadvantageous in poorer light. Rose tints are also good for low-light conditions but if you intend to ski at night, you should choose clear lenses.
Thankfully, even designer ski and snowboarding goggles come in all sizes and at a wide range of prices (for example, Electric and Oakley goggles can be found from around 70 pounds sterling, or Bloc goggles from a little over 25 and Spy around 80 sterling and above).
Your ski or snowboarding goggles should be a snug fit and are large enough to protect some of your face as well as your eyes from ice chips that may fly up. They should also be made of a soft flexible material and be held in place by strong wide straps to keep them safely in place. Don't forget to check that your new goggles have 100% UV (A and B) protection and remember that the darkness of the lens tint has nothing to do with how good the UV protection is.
Finally, don't forget to buy your ski or snowboarding goggles before you leave for your first trip as you will get a better deal. Think carefully about when you are likely to use them and the possible lighting conditions. While regular skiers may tend to have goggles with more than one lens or multiple pairs, to begin with I would probably go for the yellow/orange option for their ability to improve contrast and because they work well in a wider variety of lighting conditions.

Don't make the same mistake I did! It took a friend having a bad fall because of the wrong eyewear but I now have two pairs of snow/ski goggles. One pair of Oakley goggles (Crowbar) and a cheaper pair for sunny conditions.
How to Choose and Use Mosquito Control Repellents Wisely
Did you know that mosquitoes can sense the presence of humans even from far away? They're attracted to the heat, humidity and the carbon dioxide that are given off. Most mosquito repellents work by hiding the chemical cues that attract mosquitoes. A good repellent will offer protection for a long period of time after just one application. That's important because many diseases like West Nile virus are transmitted by mosquitoes.
Mosquito repellents don't work exactly the same for everyone. They work better for some and not as well on others. The factors involved include the age, gender and activity level of the person involved. The type of mosquito is a factor as well. Another important fact is that mosquito repellents only work on the surface they're applied to.
DEET is one of the most effective mosquito repellents. It became available in 1957. It is one of two products that the Center for Disease Control (CED) recommends because each works well and offers long-lasting protection. In addition DEET has an excellent safety record. The other product is picaridin.
Mosquito repellent products come in many concentrations. Which you choose will depend on how long you're typically outside. If you're usually out 3-4 hours, you might look for a product with 20% or more of DEET. However, scientists tell us that products containing more than 50% DEET do not offer extra protection. If you're often outside for less than 3 hours a product with less than 20% DEET or 7% picaridin offers good protection.
According to the Environmental Protection agency (EPA), when used according to directions, DEET does not present any health concerns and isn't classifiable as a human carcinogen. The CDC does not recommend combining DEET with sunscreen or using products that do combine the products. The American Academy of Pediatrics says DEET in concentrations below 30% is safe for children aged two months and older
The CDC recommends two other active ingredients that typically provide reasonably long protection, although not as long as the higher concentrations of DEET. They are oil of lemon eucalyptus and IR3535. Oil of lemon eucalyptus is a synthetic version of the real product. EPA's testing indicates that oil of lemon eucalyptus provides protection similar to low concentrations of DEET. Read the label however, as that product should not be used on children under 3 years of age.
Numerous studies of the ultrasonic mosquito repellent devices have failed to prove they work. In addition, there is no evidence that eating onions, garlic, vitamins or any other food will repel mosquitoes. As for the portable mosquito traps that emit carbon dioxide, there has not been enough testing for scientists to draw conclusions.
The following guidelines will help use mosquito repellents safely: Read the label and follow directions. Apply these products only to exposed skin, never under clothing. Avoid applying these products to wounds, rashes or cuts. Never apply near mouth or eyes and apply only lightly around the ears. Children should not be allowed to apply these products. Wash with soap and water or bathe when you return indoors.

World of Warcraft - Amazing Online Multi Player Game
World of Warcraft, or often referred to as WoW, is a massive multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the fourth series of Warcraft game in the fantasy Warcraft universe. On September 2, 2001, Blizzard Entertainment announced World of Warcraft after the success of Warcraft III and its game patch The Frozen Throne. The game itself was released on November 23, 2004, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise.
Since the release of World of Warcraft on November 2004, it rapidly gain success around the world. The new MMORPG has experienced success beyond what they or anyone else had expected. It is now the world's most-subscribed MMORPG with more than 11.5 million monthly subscribers. Most subscribers come from Asia, around 5.5 million subscribers, North America, 2.5 million, Europe 2 million and the rest scattered around the world. World of Warcraft is currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG in the world. Around 62% of the markets for MMORPG belongs to World of Warcraft. This MMORPG has become the leader and broadened the audience for MMORPG genre and online games in general.
Before the age of World of Warcraft, majority of people playing multi-player online games would usually be teenager or probably male with age around 20. World of Warcraft has broadened the gaming audience considerably. All sorts of age groups and individuals are now playing it. In particular, it has successfully brought much younger multi-player gamers towards the genre.
World of Warcraft has appealed to people who are not usually playing game, especially online game or MMORPG. Those people usually got influenced by the people in their surroundings, such as spouse, brother, sister, friends, roommate, teammate, etc. World of Warcraft has so much fun in it, no wonder people will enjoy playing it hours and hours. Although gamers will definitely love this game, people with little or zero experience in MMORPG, will also enjoy WoW and sometimes become addicted to it.
Most online gamers consist of male person. But after World of Warcraft launched to public, female person has also shown their interest to play the online game. It is estimated that 30% of the world online game's player are female. Their partner usually accompany them when they are playing the game. Often, World of Warcraft is the key title in introducing female person to play MMORPG.
WoW has made online game as a social experience. People play the game together in groups. Couples play it together and almost a quarter of people playing in groups are romantically involved. Parent and their children also play together. Don't forget with brothers and sisters. This could tighten up the relationship within family, as long you don't overdo-it.
One of the reasons that have made World of Warcraft so popular is the availability of free trials for the game. At the beginning, although the game is still in testing, beta testing is available for trial and most importantly, it is free. Most people who try the beta testing, end up like the game very much and then when World of Warcraft was release, gamers who has experience the beta version, are most likely to buy the game and sign up for the monthly subscription.
Besides the free trial offer, World of Warcraft has some new approaches compare to other online game which is already out in the market. One example is WoW's approach to character's death. In previous MMORPG, player would suffer a great deal of penalty when the character he/she played got killed. WoW change the concept of character death. Character would be able to recover and then start playing immediately. WoW has also improved the combat area. Pauses or downtime between play were reduced significantly. Characters are allowed to recover from damage quickly, thus player could return to combat quickly too. These new approaches have made World of Warcraft the chosen online game to play.
The vast audience for World of Warcraft has also been of interest to the gaming industry. Many game companies felt that there was no room in the online gaming market for a new title. Thus gamers didn't have much to choose from, since there isn't much option for online game. Blizzard Entertainment has made a brave step and its game, WoW, has proven otherwise. WoW has show that the online game market can and still expanding and growing. Blizzard has proven that the market for online game still has much potential and with the right title, it will be profitable. Other game companies have been impressed by its success, and are very interested in why it has taken off to the extent that it has.
World of Warcraft is a multi-player online game that has broken new ground and increased the market that multi-player games can have. The game is liked by different types of people at different ages. Blizzard Entertainment as the developer of World of Warcraft has successfully made other developer in the online game industry to rethink their whole approach to the genre. It is a very accessible game and it has developed a broad, mainstream appeal as a result. Bravo Blizzard. Bravo World of Warcraft.

Lost TV Show - Expect The Unexpected
I am not writing about any of the episodes here, which are gone by. I am not going to prophecy or speculate on the episodes of sixth and the ultimate seasons which will put an end to all are anxieties and curiosities (hopefully). www.lost-tv-show.com is a perfect Lost TV Show Forum, where all the like and unlike minded discuss different aspects of the amazing show.
This website hosts separate sections of all the activities related to the show whereby you can voice opinions about the characters and actors of the show. Even more information regarding the show is provided by the fans of the Lost TV show, who write Lost TV blogs on various topics.
This show has led the meaning of 'live together, die alone' to another level which really makes you sit back and count your closed ones. The show has a twist and turn at every step and you can't predict any event that happens on the show. The creators of the show have made the show so unique that unpredictability can be considered as its USP and they have completely cashed on it.
No one has been able to actually get to know the characters of the show and the mysteries and happenings on the Lost TV show , that sometimes it so happens that if someone is declared dead you may find him alive in the next episode itself. This shows that the show is so unpredictable that it constantly keeps you on your toes.

How To Trade Price Action In Forex Markets?
To become a successful trader if you are new, you should immerse yourself completely in the subject in order to find your edge. If you already a winning at trading than you should know exactly what your edge is.
The sharp moves often seen in the forex markets can be difficult to trade and often interpret even by advanced traders. Learning to read and interpret price action can be a huge advantage.
When the market is going in a steep decline, one should be really careful to measure the reaction of the long positions. You must try to understand if the sharp move has the chance to turn into a rout.
By looking at the reaction of the longs as soon as the rate begins to go south, you may be able to determine if the market is sitting on a large number of long positions. If the spike is followed by a sharp V recovery, you should be wary of shorting the pair.
Masses of buyers entering the market at lower levels tell you that the market is not particularly long. Lower prices mean bargain prices for those wishing to accumulate long positions.
Moving averages (MAs) are one of the oldest, true and tested indicators. The most widely used moving averages are the 50, 100 and 200 day MAs.
As said before, moving averages are lagging indicators. They relate with the past price action in the market. MAs can be used effectively in intra-day trading for entering and exiting positions in one way markets that are trending.
During sharp moves, it becomes difficult for the trader to properly enter a position since retracements are far and few.
Moving Averages can be used as dynamic support and resistance levels in such situations. This will give results superior than the static support and resistance levels used by majority of the traders.
The advantages of using MAs this way gives you dynamic levels to trade off and gauge price action. MAs can help you avoid using arbitrary levels when you should take profit.

The Mapes Hotel: Lost Landmark Of Northern Nevada History
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 efficacy and justification of demolishing the Mapes is debatable, one thing that is not is the glorious history of the hotel. It was built in 1947, and signaled the start of the modern era of casino gambling. Despite the notoriety of Bugsy Siegel and the Flamingo in Las Vegas, it was the Mapes that became the first building in the nation to have a hotel, casino and live entertainment under one 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: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jackie Gleason, 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 continued to do well during the 60's and 70's. The hotel finally closed in 1982, due more to financial difficulties experienced by the Mapes family caused by one of their other Northern Nevada gaming properties than anything else.
Reno never experienced the massive growth that occurred in Las Vegas and 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. The old properties may have historic value to pop culture historians, but their survival doesn't make economic sense. They're simply 'analog players in a digital world'.
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 1996, 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.
After the demolition of The Mapes Hotel, the lot remained vacant for almost a year until a temporary ice skating rink was constructed in the winter of 2001. The site now houses a permanent ice skating rink which, while not a bad use for the land, brings into question the insistence by the City Redevelopment Agency that none of the proposals to preserve the building were viable. Clearly, they had no specific plan or even general idea of what to do with the land but for some reason wanted to see the hotel come down. This has led to all manner of speculation, ranging from financial self interest to a rumor that the structure was 'haunted' and needed to be destroyed to forestall future paranormal activity in Washoe County. Whatever the reason, the city of Reno lost a valuable landmark of a more civilized era.
While the efficacy and justification of demolishing the Mapes is debatable, one thing that is not is the glorious history of the hotel. It was built in 1947, and signaled the start of the modern era of casino gambling. Despite the notoriety of Bugsy Siegel and the Flamingo in Las Vegas, it was the Mapes that became the first building in the nation to have a hotel, casino and live entertainment under one 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'.

Bobby Hull: The Golden Jet
Nicknamed The Golden Jet for his blond hair and his jet-like slap shot, Bobby Hull was the most feared goal scorer of the 60s and 70s He and teammate Stan Mikita were the first NHL players to use curved stick blades, which made his already wicked slapshot even more difficult to stop.
Born in rural Belleville, Ontario Hull rose quickly through the ranks of junior hockey and by the time he was 18 had joined the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks. He was a very effective rookie, and by his third year in the league was leading the NHL in scoring. In 1961, he played an important role in the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup championship victory.
In 1966, Hull broke a hallowed NHL scoring mark by becoming the first player to net more than 50 goals in a season. His 51st goal broke the record of 50 goals held by Montreal Canadien greats Bernie Boom Boom Geoffrion and Maurice Rocket Richard. Hull would go on to score 54 goals in the 1966 and would surpass that mark by scoring 58 in 1968. These numbers arent surprising in light of his slapshots deadly speed and accuracy"Hulls shot was once clocked at a mind boggling 118 MPH!
Hulls tenure with the Chicago Blackhawks ended in 1972, when he jumped to the upstart World Hockey Association (WHA). Initially, Hulls response that he would jump ship for a million bucks was an offhanded joke but when the WHA ownership agreed to contribute to that sum thinking that it would provide instant credibility for the league it became a reality.
The NHL attempted to prevent Hulls jump to the WHA via litigation, but eventually he would join the Winnipeg Jets and resume his offensive dominance. On a line with Swedish superstars Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg called The Hot Line, he led the Jets to two league championship AVCO Cup victories. In 1977, he set a new professional hockey record with 77 goals in a season which surpassed Phil Espositos 1970-71 mark of 76 by a single goal.
Hull suffered from knee trouble throughout his career, and it eventually forced his retirement from hockey in 1979. He would play in a few games for the Whalers before calling it a career. With the exception of an abortive comeback attempt with the New York Rangers in 1981 that was the end of his professional hockey career.
Modern fans may be more familiar with Hulls third son, Brett Hull, who earned NHL superstar status in his own right. Like his dad, Hull was a prolific goal scorer with a scary slapshot and will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year.
Now 70 years old, Hull is still in good health and splits his time between Ontario and Chicago. He currently serves as a PR ambassador for the Blackhawks organization. He is expected to formally induct his son into the Hall of Fame at the ceremonies later this summer.

Why Fear Your CV- It's Your Time To Shine!
Most people see their CV as a bit of a boring document designed to give the recruiter some useful information to talk about at an interview. This is simply untrue. A CV (or curriculum vitae) is one of the biggest tools in your armoury when it comes to selling yourself. It is a high end magazine, not a cheap leaflet
I have no idea why, but people in the UK (and other English speaking countries as well) tend to hide their light under a bushel. The CV is not the place for shrinking violets, it is a place to sell, to brag and boast and most of all to show a potential employer just how valuable an asset that you will be to their business
Coming over like a pushy double glazing salesman in a CV will no help you. Not unless you're looking for a job selling double glazing anyway! Quiet confidence in factual achievements leap out of the page as they are honest and have the recruiter wanting to know more. Achievements in the past show a track record that is likely to be repeated (at least in the recruiters eyes)
Being honest is what it is all about. There is a common myth flying around that it is alright to lie on your CV. Popularized by television programs like The Apprentice, lies on a CV seem to be worn like some badge of Honor. In the real world where most of us live, however, lying will get you fired, and certainly not hired which I assume is your goal
Spelling, grammar and punctuation are vital in a CV. Whilst the proper English police won't be turning up on your doorstep if you spell a couple of things wrongly, you won't be getting many interviews if you do. Spell checkers are excellent but the best answer is having someone else to proof read your CV. You would be amazed what they will pick up as you are too close to the subject to be objective
You worked hard for your qualifications so please make sure that they are included on your CV. Work back wards from the highest level of qualification through to the lowest, separating out the professional qualifications and the educational ones
Passing a driving test of any sort shows people that you have a degree of persistence, independence and stickability that many people simply don't have. It is a common assumption that everyone drives. They don't. Make sure that anyone reading your CV knows that you can drive (if you can), and specifically, which classes of vehicle that you are licensed to take out on the road
Age is a sensitive subject. Too old or too young can be a problem. Our advice, leave your age out of the document- it's for you to know and for the recruiter to find out. In any case, never include your full date of birth as your identity needs to be kept safe- this is useful information for anyone trying to steal that identity

Commodity Prices as Leading Indicators
Commodities, namely gold and oil, have a substantial connection with the forex markets. Understanding the relationship between gold, oil and currencies can help forex traders gauge risk, forecast price changes as well as understand exposure.
Gold and oil prices generally tend to move based on almost similar fundamental forces that affect some currency pairs. Four major currencies, the Canadian Dollar, the Swiss Franc the New Zealand Dollar and the Australian Dollar, are considered to be commodity currencies.
The AUD, NZD, CAD and CHF all have strong correlation with the gold prices. Natural gold reserves and currency laws in these countries result in almost mirror like movements. The CAD also tends to move somewhat with the oil prices.
However, the correlation between CAD and oil prices is not that strong and substantial. Each one of these currencies has a correlation with gold and oil and the fundamental reasons for that correlation. You need to understand the fundamental reasons for each correlation.
Knowledge of the fundamental factors behind these movements, their direction and strength could be a good method to discover trends in both the markets. There is a strong correlation between gold prices and US Dollar as well.
During unstable geopolitical times as well as when fears of global recession become strong like that presently, investors tend to shy away from Dollar and instead turn to gold as a safe haven for their investments.
Therefore, as Dollar depreciates, gold prices tend to appreciate as wary investors become afraid of losing their wealth. AUD/USD, NZD/USD and USD/CHF currency pairs tend to mirror gold movements.
Oil prices tend to have a huge impact on the global economy. Remember, the early part of 2008 when oil and commodity prices jumped skyward making the global economy jittery. USD/CAD currency pair tends to show an oil relationship. The major reason for this relationship is the heavy dependence of foreign oil in both US and Canada.
Generally speaking, commodity prices are considered to be a leading indicator of currency prices. The relationship can be positive or negative. As such, commodity block traders monitor gold and oil prices to forecast movements in currency pairs. The knowledge of this relationship between commodities and currencies can help forex traders to diversity risk exposure using different products. The combination of gold and forex trading can be very profitable.

Bettering Your Poker Game
Poker is one of the best loved online casino games, and it's still pretty popular in person, too. Most people learn it as their first card game. It's the one that most people play when they get together for a fun game. That means a lot of people would like to know how to win at poker, and whether there's anything they can do to tip the balance. Let's look at how you can win at poker a little more often.
Don't play too many hands! Beginners frequently fall into this trap, especially when they're playing at online casinos. The best poker players play a fifth to a third of their starting hands.
Another common mistake is that people refuse to fold once they've made a bet already. This is a horrible mistake that's just going to see you throwing away money calling bets for hands that you cannot even win. You have to learn when to fold and you have to be fine with it, instead of taking it personally.
You should set realistic expectations and should sit down at tables that match your skill level and bankroll. A table with a higher limit not only may be too risky for you, but it will probably have players who are far more advanced than you as well.
There's no reason to sit down with seasoned players just to lose all of your money and not even be able to enjoy yourself in the process.
Get information through poker betting. This one might sound strange, but you might not always bet just because you have a good hand.
Betting can help you figure out what your opponents are likely to do. Defensive bets early on can help you keep from calling a bigger bet later on. Re-raises can help you figure out how credible your opponent really is.
It's of the most importance that you learn how and when to bluff. But be careful not to bluff too often, because if you do and you get called on it, nobody will take your bluffs seriously.
Figure out when your risk is lowest, and bluff then. You should also understand player position - strong hands can be influenced by the position in which you play them.
There are tons of books and guides out there that can help you learn how to play poker better. Read many different ways to win and figure out the ones that work the best when you use them. You can keep track by keeping notes of your hands or using software that automatically does it for you.
When you know how to play poker, not only will you have more fun, but you'll also be able to win more money.

The Best Way To Write The Best Articles Using Keywords
Dear Friend,
Keywords or phrases are great to help generate traffic to your website. However, this is way overused by many people because they use keywords to often to increase their ranking. So, due to this, there is such a thing as overusing keywords. Now search engines have created algorithms to see which websites hold the most relevance where keywords are concerned. Currently, it appears that the average article is at least 12% keyword rich and this is way too many keywords.
The reason for all this focus on the use of keywords is that is totally being abused by people. For example, if you have an article of average length, around 500 words and you use the word cat in it 15 times or so, this is way too much and your article may be banned as a result.
This shift has really increased writing jobs. If you are a writer, even though the economy is very slow, it is highly likely you can get jobs writing SEO articles.
This has lead to a lot of SEO writing jobs for many people. If you are a writer, this has opened up many doors for you. The best way to write good SEO articles is to certain they have high quality content that is informative and offers a lot of good information to the reader. When you are certain to write about what the reader is interested in reading, you are much more likely to keep their attention and they will click on your link to your site.
When writing you should not focus a much on the keywords but the information the article gives. If you are writing an article about a produce you are selling for instance, tell your readers what the product does and why they need to have it. The key thing is to give the reader informative information and place keywords strategically. This is the way to get the most use from the SEO technique
Also, it is important that the article flows naturally. You do not want to force keywords into the article and make it appear unnatural. Try putting the keywords twice in the first paragraph and once in each other paragraph. This is the best way to make your SEO efforts a success.
In case, you are not able to compose your own article due to lack of time or other unavoidable circumstances, try using freelance websites in order to hire article writers. They will make sure that your articles are written nicely and they may charge anything. $1 to $15 for a 500 word article. All you require to do is to make a research and analyze their previous samples.
To your success
Jason
P.S. In order to gain experience, you may want to write a few articles yourself before you hire someone else to do it.

Finding The DJ Equipment You Need
So, you think you have what it takes to be a DJ. It's all good, but if you want to be a really DJ you will need to know a bit more about the DJ equipment you will need to fill up your kit. You will also need to know how to work all of the equipment in your kit.
The first thing you need to know, before you go out to buy a ton of equipment, is that you will stand a better chance of making a career of it if you have some sort of tertiary education behind you. Now, that said, it has to be said that it is no necessary, however, a lot of companies do look for the guys with some sort of degree.
You should know that most of the popular, or should I say "good" DJ's have gone to college, and they have somehow taken part in the on campus radio station. If you want to have any chance of becoming a good radio DJ, start with campus Radio, it is good work experience.
The mixer is one of the most important parts of being a DJ. If you do not have a mixer, you cannot do any of the intricate mixing that DJ's do when they are in clubs or mixing tracks for songs. If you do not have a mixer, you are not a true DJ.
A CD player is the next piece of the puzzle. If you are doing club music you will want to look for a double CD player with some sort of scratching option on it. A DJ is not a DJ if he or she does not know how to scratch.
The next things you will need are big speakers. Now, you obviously cannot get any sound out of the CD player if you do not have speakers. You will need to know a bit about ohm, watts and voltages in order to put your whole kit together.

Casino Games Explained
By Simon Skinner
Have you finally decided that gambling in Vegas is one thing you have to try for yourself? That, my friend, is a pretty good decision, so long as you do not plan to stay there all your life.
If you are a beginning gambler, you might want to familiarize yourself with the house games casinos offer. This way, your first time would at most be a winning experience, and at least be a fun-filled time for you and your pals.
The number of main house games: 8
The most commonly placed games in all casinos, however, are these five: craps, punto banco, casino stud poker, blackjack, and roulette.
The roulette is housed by a majority of the casinos and there are three variations to it: French, British and American. In playing roulette, you need to predict where a white ball will land after spinning the wheel. There are two wheels, an outside rim, and the carousel inside. The ball spins outside the carousel but bounces off it, eventually resting on one numbered slot in the rim. On the table where the roulette is placed are boxes with numbers that correspond to the numbers on the wheel (0-36).
If you dream of becoming a skilled table game player, you may play the blackjack which can be learned by reading literature associated with it. You can actually beat the house in this game as long as you play by the rules some degenerate gambler has painstakingly written down eons ago.
The basic game of blackjack is thus:
1. You place a bet.
2. You are dealt two cards face up, and the dealer gets just one.
3. The aim is for you to beat the house to 21 by adding the values of your cards. You can ask for more cards if you think you still can add to the value of your cards without going over 21.
4. If you go over 21, you lose.
5. If the house gets a lower value than your cards, you win.
6. The house stops drawing cards at 17.
7. A “blackjack “is when you get one face card or a ten and one Ace.
Casino stud poker is another skill game that you may want to try. You get five cards face down and the dealer gets five also but with one card face up. The bets start before you get your cards and then you can raise your bet once the dealer gets his hand. The winner of course, is the player (or the dealer) who gets the best poker hand.
Punto Banco may be mistaken for baccarat, but there are subtle differences. Players and the banker are dealt with two cards from a six-deck shoe. You just have to compare your card value with that of the banker; only the last digit of the sum is considered. You win by placing your bet on the higher cards (yours or the banker) or betting on “equal” or tied sums.
Craps, or in full, bank craps, is probably the most exciting game there is in the casino. You will never get lost in finding the craps table since it would be the loudest. You will have to predict and bet on the roll of the dice. You win if you get your wish.
There is tons of literature on each of the games discussed here. For more information, start surfing the net for casino games explanations.
