Your Special Day - Getting The Photography Right

By Bruce Wong

On a wedding day the two most important people are the wedding couple. To get some excellent portraits, the photographer should seclude the wedding couple from the celebration for a while to capture the intimate moments after the ceremony. Not only will you get your pictures but this will give they wedding couple some time away from the celebration 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?

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

Award winning photographer Bradley Hanson says that sometimes the bride and the groom would want to start the portrait session even before the ceremony. He generally starts by photographing the bride getting ready in such events.

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

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

Too many people trying to take pictures of the newly-weds and crying for attention may very well ruin a good portrait session on the wedding day. 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.

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

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.

The True Story Of The Ali/Inoki Fight

By Ross Everett

Decades before mixed martial arts became popular in the United States, events matching fighters of different fighting disciplines were very common in Japan. They weren't called "mixed martial arts" at the time, but that's essentially what they were.There's an entire history of pro wrestlers fighting specialists from other martial arts (particularly judo) that were leaving out, but during the'70's Antonio Inoki began to put the concept of "mixed martial arts" on the map with his matches against fighters from other disciplines.

Inoki would often face other martial artists in fights that are widely accepted to have been "worked" (having a predetermined outcome) in the same manner as professional wrestling matches. While Inoki faced a number of karate, judo and boxing champions his most famous match was certainly his fight against world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali.

There's a great deal of uncertainty about many of the stories surrounding how the event came together and transpired, but a few facts are now known. Ali took the fight as it was a large and presumptively easy paycheck. The big money he was earning is what kept him from walking out when his camp started to disagree with Inoki's handlers over the rules and 'finish' fo the fight. Some suggest that it was supposed to be a fair fight going in, but Ali at the last minute insisted on rules more favorable to him. The more likely version of events is that Ali's handlers agreed to a predetermined finish, only to have Ali balk at the last moment.

Many conspiracy theorists have noted that these rules were never announced to the crowd on fight night, leaving many with the impression that they were being made up as they went along. Action in the fight would further validate this view, but there actually were rules that both camps agreed to heading into the fight. Not surprisingly, most of these were designed to protect Ali. In fact, they were so one-sided that if Inoki hadn't been so concerned about preserving his big payday he would have been justified in not fighting. Inoki was prohibited from punching with a closed fist or striking Ali in the head (ostensibly since he wasn't wearing gloves). Inoki was prohibited from using any sort of submission maneuver. The most absurd limitation was that Inoki was prohibited from "grappling or trying to take Ali to the ground". A few observers noted that this was like not letting Ali throw a jab.

The result was an absolutely horrible fight. Neither man showed much interest in engaging the other, with Inoki spending most of the time on the ground doing what he could under the one sided rules. Inoki threw kicks at Ali's legs, Ali threw an occasional jab and tried to protect himself from his opponent's leg strikes. The fight ended a 74-74 draw, with the real losers being the fans.

The fight was officiated by former pro wrestler "Judo" Gene Labell, a legendary tough guy considered at the time to be the 'baddest man on the planet'. He could have easily beaten up both men, possibly at the same time. That might have provided some much needed entertainment to liven up the tedious charade masquerading as a fight.

In the aftermath of the fight, Inoki's popularity was greater than ever--in a perverse way he was something of a hero due to his trying to fight despite the rules being stacked so soundly against him. He remained one of the country's most popular professional wrestlers and even enjoyed a career in Japan's parliament. Without missing a beat, he quickly resumed his series of fights against other martial artists who were apparently all more comfortable with the "worked" environment of pro wrestling. Among his "victims" was none other than Leon Spinks, presumably serving as some sort of vindication for his draw with Ali. The popularity of these matches led to a number of promotions that were essentially hybrids of martial arts and pro wrestling, and these led to the big Japanese MMA promotions of today.

Becoming A Remote Viewer - Are There Really Any Secrets?

By Jason Faux

Have you ever wondered what your life might be like if you were a remote viewer? If this is something you haven't done before, it's hard to describe the experience and even harder to really understand what it's like.

A remote viewer can see anything anywhere and at any time. You're not limited by distance or even by time! You can see into the past and observe the earliest dinosaurs in the Triassic era or look into the future to see how the world will be in a few decades' time as well as what's happening on the other side of your block right now.

Anyone in the world can be a remote viewer however, for many they seem to have forgotten or lost their extra senses of perception. There are many different types of extra senses that the majority of humans have let go to waste or perhaps they never had the opportunity to learn more or practice their innate and natural mind powers.

Studies have been conducted on remote viewing, though in these cases the subjects were instructed to focus on something which they were not already familiar. In these remote viewing tests, the subjects were given only a codeword referring to a set of coordinates rather than being told exactly what they would be seeing.

Although the subjects in remote viewing studies may not have been viewing something familiar to them, you certainly can remotely view a place you already know. Like lucid dreaming and astral projection, remote viewing is classified as a psychic ability and it has been studied by the military and intelligence apparatuses of many nations for its possible applications in espionage.

Remote viewing isn't quite as strange as it may sound at first, since it is an ability possessed by every human being. All it takes is some practice to allow remote viewing and other latent psychic abilities to come to the surface where they can be exercised consciously.

How can you develop your natural ability of remote viewing?

Well, since it involves the power of the mind and that either it can come naturally or you can train you mind to do this. You can do a bit of research into being a remote viewer to find out more about it. For instance, you will want to try out a few different guided meditations and visualizations that can help you get into the right frame of mind and relaxation required to be able to be a remote viewer.

In order to remote view, you'll have to allow yourself to relax completely. Practice different meditation and visualization techniques until you find some that work well for you. This will involve time and effort, so be patient and keep your eye on your goal of becoming a remote viewer.

Make sure that you won't be distracted while you're practicing to be a remote viewer. Find a place which is quiet and where you can relax without being disturbed. You need to be able to completely relax both body and mind " so you'll need some space all to yourself.

Keep a journal of your remote viewing sessions and write down what tests you give yourself and the results and the details of any images which come to you. This remote viewer logbook is very helpful to you in tracking your progress towards proficiency in this natural ability and determining which techniques perform well for you.

Not many people decide to make the effort to develop them, but all people have natural psychic abilities including remote viewing. All it takes is the right kind of training to bring out these latent abilities and begin to use them consciously.

Being a remote viewer allows you to learn about the past, the future or what's happening right now on the other side of your city or anywhere in the entire universe.

Steelers Send Vikings To First Defeat Of Season

By Ross Everett

Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings are undefeated no more. The Pittsburgh Steelers' used a couple of big plays from their defense in the fourth quarter to break open a close game and defeat the Vikings by a final score of 27-17. Favre put up decent yardage in the loss, throwing for 334 yards but had no touchdowns and an interception. The defending Superbowl Champion Steelers improved to 5-2, while the Vikings are now 6-1.

NFL pointspread players who backed the Steelers as -6 home favorites were rewarded with the cover. Pittsburgh had only covered one of their first six games heading into the contest, and the win improved their record against the number to 2-5. Minnesota dropped to 4-3 against the spread with the setback. The 44 points scored went UNDER the posted total of 46'.

The Steelers largely shut down Minnesota's rushing game, holding Adrian Peterson to 69 yards. Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark underscored his team's dominance against the run:

"That's the biggest point of the game. You have the best running back in the world and you don't give it to him. They're saying they can't beat us running, and that's a major statement when you have the guy they have back there."

Favre gave a mealy mouthed justification for the loss in his postgame interview:

"There were a lot of what ifs, a lot of reasons we didn't win. The red zone was one of them. They're physical, and they were as good as we thought they'd be. ... When I came here and looked at our schedule and saw the Steelers game, I went, 'Oh-h-h.' "

Favre has only thrown three interceptions in a Vikings' uniform, but #3 was a costly one as it was returned by Steelers' Keyaron Fox for a touchdown to put the game out of reach as Minnesota was driving for a potential game tying field goal. Afterwards, Fox recalled the play:

"Brett tried to force it in there and the running back bobbled it and slipped out of his hands and it fell into my lap. I had just run across the field after Peterson and I was winded, so it felt like it was 100-plus yards."

The Vikings now face another big game next week as they head to Favre's old stomping grounds in Green Bay for a battle with the Packers. It'll be Favre's first appearance at his old home in an enemy uniform. The Vikings will then have a bye weekend before hosting the lowly Detroit Lions on November 15. Pittsburgh will enjoy a bye week this week before returning to action on Monday, November 9th facing the Denver Broncos on the road.

Green Screen Hollywood Technology - What it Consists of and How to Use It

By Phillip Guye

Hollywood manages to move moviegoers to different places be it real or standard. With today's sophisticated film making technologies, anyone can take a look at ancient Rome's grand coliseums, walk on the surface of Jupiter, and visit dimensions that was once restricted to only our imaginations. Also, creatures like monsters, angels, and beasts are brought to life with the help of green screen Hollywood technology. But what exactly is green screen or "Chroma Key" technology? How does it work?

Green screen technology is the mixing of 2 images together. A solid background color is utilized so that another image can be transposed in front of the main picture. More frequently than not, green is the color used for this reason though blue is also widely used. Green is more well-liked among filmmakers because image sensors in cameras are sensitive to it. Green camera channels have less noise and can make the cleanest masks. Also, the color green is often used because it doesn't have to be illuminated much, in comparison to other colors. This makes the green screen the ideal background of different productions from weather reports to gigantic budget Hollywood movies.

However , there are some things to remember when using green screen Hollywood technology. Good production equipment like lights and quality cameras should be used when using Chroma Key technology screens. Bad lighting can cause unsightly shadows and wrong shades on the screen. Therefore , it is critical to have all of the right gear when filming something that requires the Chroma Key technique.

Green screen Hollywood technology is also used to resolve lots of filmmakers and photographers' issues. One vital use of the chroma key screen is that it permits the user to get rid of the need to find an honest to goodness background. Green screens permit filmmakers and photographers to be flexible. With green chroma key screen technology, any image can be added and used as the final background. This is how many Hollywood personalities end up in far flung regions of the universe or in traditional towns that no longer exist in this time.

Green screen Hollywood technology is principally used by pros. Except for being a typical tool employed in movies, it is also used for mag shoots, TV adverts, and studio photography. This is how shocking photographs and visual spectacles are made available to anyone who would desire something special for movies and photographs. When used the best way, green screens can help produce great pictures only the imagination can cook up. This is precisely why the green screen is one of the most trustworthy and helpful film making and photography tool there is.

There are a lot of other websites giving different forms of advice on how to use green screen but most of them are not very detailed or precise.

Courses For a Career in Microsoft MCSA Examined

By Jason Kendall

Both if you're a beginner, or an experienced technician looking to gain accredited qualifications, you'll discover interactive Microsoft MCSA training programs that teach both student levels.

Look for a training company that's willing to help and to understand you, and can guide you on the ideal path for you, prior to any discussions about the course contents. In addition, they'll advise you where to commence based on your present skill-set and/or gaps in understanding.

Proper support is incredibly important - ensure you track down something offering 24x7 direct access to instructors, as not obtaining this level of support will severely hold up your pace and restrict your intake.

Never purchase training that only supports students with a message system after office-staff have gone home. Trainers will defend this with all kinds of excuses. The bottom line is - you need support when you need support - not when it suits them.

The very best programs opt for a web-based 24x7 package involving many support centres from around the world. You will have a simple environment which switches seamlessly to the best choice of centres any time of the day or night: Support when it's needed.

Don't accept second best where support is concerned. The vast majority of IT hopefuls who give up, just need the right support system.

Make sure you don't get caught-up, like so many people do, on the training course itself. Your training isn't about getting a plaque on your wall; this is about gaining commercial employment. You need to remain focused on where you want to go.

Don't be part of that group who choose a training program which looks like it could be fun - and end up with a plaque on the wall for a career they'll never really get any satisfaction from.

Set targets for earning potential and the level of your ambition. Usually, this will point the way to which qualifications you will need and what'll be expected of you in your new role.

Look for advice and guidance from a professional advisor, even if there's a fee involved - as it's a lot cheaper and safer to investigate at the start if a chosen track will suit, rather than find out after several years of study that you're doing entirely the wrong thing and have wasted years of effort.

We can see a plethora of employment in computing. Finding the particular one for you is generally problematic.

How can we possibly grasp the day-to-day realities of any IT job if we've never been there? Maybe we haven't met someone who performs the role either.

The key to answering this predicament appropriately flows from a full talk over some important points:

* Personalities play a starring part - what gives you a 'kick', and what are the things that put a frown on your face.

* Are you aiming to pull off a closely held objective - for instance, becoming self-employed as quickly as possible?

* How highly do you rate salary - is it the most important thing, or do you place job satisfaction a little higher on your list of priorities?

* With so many ways to train in Information Technology - there's a need to achieve some background information on what differentiates them.

* Having a cold, hard look at what commitment and time you'll make available.

For the majority of us, sifting through these areas needs a long talk with an advisor who can investigate each area with you. Not only the certifications - you also need to understand the commercial requirements also.

A question; why might we choose commercial certification as opposed to traditional academic qualifications taught at tech' colleges and universities?

With an ever-increasing technical demand on resources, the IT sector has been required to move to specialist courses that the vendors themselves supply - namely companies such as CISCO, Adobe, Microsoft and CompTIA. This frequently provides reductions in both cost and time.

Vendor training works through honing in on the skills that are really needed (together with a relevant amount of related knowledge,) as opposed to trawling through all the background detail and 'fluff' that computer Science Degrees often do - to fill a three or four year course.

When an employer knows what areas they need covered, then they just need to look for someone with a specific qualification. Commercial syllabuses all have to conform to the same requirements and can't change from one establishment to the next (like academia frequently can and does).

The History Of Horse Racing At Del Mar

By Ross Everett

Though it is sometimes overshadowed by more famous tracks back East like Churchill downs and Belmont Park, Del Mar Racetrack in Southern California has a rich and fascinating history. Located 20 miles north of San Diego and known for its iconic slogan "Where The Surf Meets the Turf", Del Mar has not only hosted the best horses and jockeys on the planet but a 'who's who' of show biz elite.

The Del Mar Race Track was founded in the late'30's by a group of business and show biz elite, including Bing Crosby, Oliver Hardy and Jimmy Durante. During much of the pre WW II era, horse racing ran a close second to baseball in mainstream popularity, so these racing enthusiasts were clearly at the right place at the right time in terms of market forces.

Additionally, the star power involved with the project also provided a trendy cachet that the tonier race courses back East lacked. Bing Crosby himself greeted patrons at the gate on opening day, and during the late'30s and early'40s it became a place to be seen for Hollywood A-listers and those who aspired for celebrity. In addition to known gambling enthusiasts like W.C. Fields, Edgar Bergen and Red Skelton, the Del Mar patrons during that time also included some of the top female stars of the era including Ava Gardner, Paulette Goddard and Dorothy Lamour.

In'38, Del Mar hosted an internationally anticipated match race between Seabiscuit and Ligaroti. This event drew a record crowd and gained worldwide notoriety for the track. Seabiscuit won the $25,000 winner-take-all duel by a nose, and would forever be enshrined in the annals of American popular culture. Horse racing at Del Mar continued to be a smash until the facility went dark in'41 due to World War II. It would remain closed until'45, and for a time was used as a training facility by the military.

After the war, Del Mar reopened with a bang. Following the surrender of Japan, President Harry S. Truman declared a national holiday for August 15,'45 and on that day Del Mar attracted over 20,000 fans through its gates who wagered what at the time was a record $958,476. The postwar prosperity was also a boon to Del Mar, which also benefitted from the Santa Fe Railroads daily Racetrack Special that brought bettors down from Los Angeles to enjoy a day at the track. During the latter part of the decade a new crop of Hollywood glitterati would flock to Del Mar, including Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Mickey Rooney and Jimmy Durante. Durante would become such a regular that the turf course at Del Mar would later be renamed in his honor.

The annual race meet at Del Mar remains a highlight of the summer to this day. Del Mar remains one of the top tracks in the country, and have recently upgraded their facility with a state of the art grandstand and was one of the first tracks to install a new synthetic racing surface.

5 Christmas Movies That Your Family Will Want To Watch Every Year

By Nicole Dean

Christmas is the time of year when being with family and friends is first and foremost on your mind. Getting together with those nearest and dearest to you is important. What better way to share time and a few laughs with each other than with a good Christmas movie.

Young and old alike enjoy watching funny, magical, and touching Christmas movies. That's why we've put together a list of some of our favorite movies that are suitable for all ages. I know that our Christmas season would not be complete without watching at least a couple of these movies.

A Christmas Story (1983) This hilarious slice-of-life movie set in a 1940s American family Christmas season will have you in stitches every time you watch it. Poor Ralphie has to contend with a whiny little brother, an unshakable bully, a cantankerous father, and a teacher who is not fond of boys who double-dog-dare other boys to stick their tongue on the flag pole. And, any mention of the wish for a BB gun, and everyone, including his understanding mother and even Santa, utters the refrain - "you'll shoot your eye out!" But, all Ralphie wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder BB gun. What he most certainly did not want for Christmas were Pink Bunny Pajamas!

Elf (2003) Will Ferrell is a six foot elf who is let loose in New York City in search of his father. How did there come to be a six foot elf? When a baby in an orphanage crawls into Santa's gift bag, he ends up at the North Pole and is raised by the elves. Baby Buddy grows up and realizes that he's different from the other elves and learns the truth. His father is alive and on Santa's "Naughty List" living in New York City. Buddy is on a mission to meet his father and get him on the "Nice List." When Buddy realizes that not everyone LOVES Christmas like he does, he sets out to change them into true believers. Hilarious moments and great performances by Ferrell, as well as James Caan, and Bob Newhart, make this a must see movie.

It's a Wonderful Life (1946) This movie is a Must See Movie. James Stewart and Donna Reed shine in this delightful and timeless story of a family's love and strength during good times and bad. Sacrificing his youthful dreams to support his family and his small town, George Bailey settles into a life he didn't intend. When his hopes for a good life are almost shattered by an evil manipulator, he is sent a guardian angel who's arrived fresh from Heaven to earn his wings. George learns, with the help of a little magic by his angel, that all is not lost when you live a good life with a good family and lots of wonderful friends. And, when all is said and done, that's what really matters.

The Santa Clause (1994) Charlie is a boy with an imagination, but his imagination could get him in trouble with his Mom and her psychiatrist husband. Charlie's Dad, Scott, is trying hard to let his son's imagination run wild, but stories about going to the North Pole with Santa are a stretch. The problem is Charlie was at the North Pole with his Dad, but his Dad denies it. He even believes that his own memories of the night are a dream and his new "SC" monogrammed pj's stand for Scott Calvin and not Santa Claus. What Scott is unwilling to believe for a long time is that he signed on with the Santa "clause" when the first Santa fell off his roof! After the initial shock wears off, Scott is more than willing to show his son a proper Christmas Eve. When you see the end of this movie, you'll be a believer, too!

The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) Can The Muppets even make a bad movie? Not in my book! With The Great Gonzo as Charles Dickens and Michael Caine (in the flesh!) playing Ebeneezer Scrooge, you just can't miss. This movie takes a lighthearted, humorous, and musical approach as a way of bringing this classic bit of literature to the younger set without being too scary or dramatic. Cleverly done and creative, but, then again, it's The Muppets... would you expect anything less?

Isn't it time you grabbed a movie, a snack, your favorite blanket, and your family, and spent some time together? This Christmas make a movie date with the people you love. Have some laughs, snuggle, and enjoy!

Bengals Blast Struggling Bears

By Ross Everett

Former Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson got revenge on the team that let him go in the best possible way. Benson amassed 189 yards rushing and led his new team, the Cincinnati Bengals, to a 45-10 rout over the visiting Bears on Sunday. Carson Palmer threw for five touchdowns with no interceptions in the blowout victory.

The Bengals also made short work of the NFL pointspread, easily covering as +1' home underdogs. Cincinnati improved to 4-3 against the number while Chicago evened their ATS mark at 3-3. The 55 combined points sailed OVER the posted total of 42'.

A smug Benson described his feelings after the win:

"Everybody knew it was going to be an emotional day. Everybody knew. What a wonderful day and a wonderful thing, to go out there and strut your stuff."

Despite the evidence to the contrary, Benson downplayed the motive of revenge:

"I continue to be as graceful as I can be. I'm not shoving anything in anybody's face. Like I say, it wasn't a revenge day for me. I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunities."

He said his biggest problem was trying to keep his emotions in check and play under control:

"There were a few times where I may have gotten a little too hyped up, a little too antsy. A couple of drives, I found myself having to calm myself down and gather my emotions to stay poised. Once I got past that, we were good to go. Keep it rolling."

Bengals' receiver Chad Ochocinco had 10 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He shared his thoughts postgame:

"I don't understand why it went this way today and why it didn't go that way last week or the week before that. The offensive line played unbelievable. For Ced to run the way he did today and for us to be able to throw, we could have done what we wanted to do."

Chicago gave up more points than in any game all season, a fact that left defensive end Alex Brown looking for answers:

"That was pretty embarrassing. It's embarrassing to come out and play like that. I tip my hat to their whole team. Cedric ran the ball like crazy. They did whatever they wanted to do."

The Bengals will enjoy a bye week before hosting the Baltimore Ravens on November 8. They'll then play two games on the road at Pittsburgh and Oakland. Chicago will try to get back on track this Sunday as they host the Cleveland Browns. They'll host the Arizona Cardinals the following Sunday before heading west for a Thursday night game against the San Francisco 49ers on November 12.

Top Tips On Event Photography

By Anthony Brown

Professional event photography is a attractive career. A person who shoots live events such as weddings, conferences, award ceremonies and music performances is known as an event photographer.

There is a misconception among many people that all an event photographer does is turn up at the venue with a camera and keep clicking away merrily. However, this is not correct at all. Many advanced courses are devoted to train people to become an event photographer and as with any other highly skilled profession, an event photographer should have some key qualities to excel at his job.

From the outside you may believe that as the photographer runs around just clicking that there is no process in their photography. At an event there is an aim in place that must be met. Generating a large spread of great high quality photos needs skill and a great eye. Being quick off the mark is a must to snap all those unexpected shots.

Ingenuity is a must-have for an event photographer along with an instinctive quality to sense the tone of the event. For instance, a wedding needs to be covered in an entirely different manner than a sports event. Thus, the photographer must have the capability to artistically project the mood of an event through his photos.

Event photography also calls for proper handling of various issues that a photographer might have to confront during the event. A clumsy and shoddy approach doesn't quite work in event photography. The photographer must be alert with his equipment and camera much before the start of the event. A lazy approach where things are done only at the eleventh hour will be detrimental to an event photography career.

Naturally, an event photographer should also have detailed knowledge of his craft. Familiarity with the technical features of photography gadgets affects the outcome. The use of light and various angles is very important in any form of photography and a photographer must know how to use them in various situations.

In summary, event photography needs a full time professional who is ready to learn all the varied facets of this discipline. To be successful in this field, you need to be conscious of and responsive to various scenarios that might come your way.

Tetrus Is A New Tetris Online Game!

By Tommy Tigavonski

Tetris is one of the most popular video games to ever hit the market. When I was little I use to play Sega for weeks. There is a free newer and more advanced version of Tetris that was just released called Tetrus.

Once you start playing Tetrus, you do not know when to stop playing the game it is that addicting. Sometimes I lose track of time playing the game for several hours without a break.

I recently tried to stop my Tetrus playing by setting a timer telling me when to stop. I just wish I wouldn't have wasted so many hours playing this game. But the reality is this is one of my all time favorite computer games.

I really like the newer updated graphics in Tetrus compared to the original Tetris. I have played so many different levels I wonder if the game is never ending. The new Tetrus game also has the most soothing music.

The music is so familiar that I find myself humming the tune during the day. That's the 1st sign that I'm playing the game far too much. In truth, I think could probably sing the Tetrus game theme song note for note for hours if I needed to.

I do not know if there's going to be a follow up to Tetrus but I sure hope so. I suspect they have to make some minor upgrades and changes to the game.

There are so many shapes and levels in the new Tetrus game it is a lot of fun to play. However, competing with your family and friends makes the game even more of a challenge.

Sometimes we might have a huge prize pool of snacks or food or other prizes. The loser would always have to pay for pizza. Whenever I need a fast break from work or simply need to have a stress reliever, I just load up Tetrus on my PC and play some rounds.

Out of all of the games I have played, Tetrus is by far my favorite. There is no other game that even comes close to the excitement and fun as Tetrus.

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 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.

White Cyc Studios: Boundless Technology

By Phil Guye

White cyc is an individual element used to build a cyclorama that encircles the stage. All the changes in technology have done tiny to switch the way in which the cyc is lighted over time. All the new technology has increased the importance of correct lighting, and using the right kind of material for the white cyc.

What technology has done is take century old technology and make its use necessary for making virtual backgrounds for virtual and computer effects for the up and coming flood of films, and diverse video applications conditional on PC systems requiring faultless virtual backgrounds that may only be created in white cyc studios. White cyc studios technology dates back to nineteenth century German Theaters and has bounced round the entertainment industry for a long time. White wall surface was use for early twentieth century Broadway plays and finally ended up in Hollywood use for creating computer effects.

The white cyc is a very useful tool when it comes to lighting the white surface stage set. The white cyc supplies the lighting designer with an abounded number of lighting chances for staging the required computer effects scene. The white cyc with correct lighting will draw the spectators focus to the subject that the producer wants to show off. This is the major advantage of white surface backgrounds, and the rationale white cyc studios are used for television commercials, news programs, music videos, dance routines, and other kinds of film media. White is used for the color of the cyc because it leaves the background void so a new background with the required effect can replace it. The void background is great for digital fashion photography enhancing the model's appearance and keeping total focus on the model.

The number of white cyc studios technology walls can be painted green to combine green screen effects in the white cyclorama studios. This works as the cyc is void of background allowing for the green screen background effect to turn up in place of the white cyclorama background. Using the cyc enhances the green screen effect by giving it illusions depth and infinite space. Robert Rodriguez exploited a method similar when he was filming Sin City when he uses his 1956 Chevy Panel truck in the flick. He places his van on a platform and films it from all different camera angles. The actors were filmed in front of a green screen background and were composite in the wagon film to appear to be inside of the wagon. In reality the actors never were in the van during filming. With the inflating number of computer effects in pictures and TV programs today cyc lighting is very essential in creating special visual effects.

Flick producers have doubts about using white cyclorama studios for computer effects. The producer's doubts are quickly discharged with clear knowledge of what the cyclorama terraces can do when they witness the results from the production studios. Another use for white cyc studios technology backgrounds is on talk shows when music groups stop by to play one of their new music pieces. The white surface supplies the perfect area for creating a quick music environment.

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.

Some Things About Fantasy Baseball Leagues

Fantasy Baseball Leagues are fun and many people are extremely passionate about them. If you have any interest at all you shouldn't hesitate to educate yourself on this very popular past-time. With this type of baseball, you can form your own league, or choose to join one already formed. It takes at least ten or twelve teams to make up a league. But you can also have as many as 24 in a league.

The first move is to choose yourself a team, and the next move is to start the team building. You have two separate options for building the team. You can choose to use the 'draft' system, or you can go by way of 'auction'. The draft is done by rotation and picking players when your turn comes around. You make the decision at the beginning about whether or not to clean the slate after the season. Or you can opt for 'protecting', or keeping back, a certain number of players and carry them over to the next season.

When you take the auction route, you start with 260 credits for bidding. And for deciding the eligibility of a player, you go by the fact of whether he's played at a certain position for 20 or more games last season. If he hasn't, then you go with the position that he played the most at. It's easy to catch on to the different

You count things like home runs, runs batted in, batting averages, stolen bases, saves, wins, run average, and a thing called the WHIP. This is a figure determined by taking the amount of Walks divided by the amount of Hits. Then everything gets added up when the season is over and a winner is picked by the highest score.

The rosters are pretty much the same, with the miscellaneous man being different in the two leagues. For the American League the miscellaneous man is used as a designated hitter. And in the National League they use him as a utility man. Other than that they man up the rosters the same, with pitchers taking in the most spots with nine.

These fantasy baseball leagues 'do' offer a lot of options as far how they run and are played. You will no doubt find one that suits you, and will have a lot of fun with it. There's no hard set or fast set rules for some of the leagues. The basics are the same, but there are plenty of variations to choose from. So don't limit yourself to any one league, try out a few to see which one suits you.

If you're a beginner, and you want a fast-track way to start, then you can go online and order yourself a draft guide. These are great for getting you quick-started into competing. You can sign up for magazines that will feed you information and help you to learn all you need to know about this extremely popular form of baseball.

Web Design Courses UK Simplified

By Jason Kendall

If you'd like to become a web designer qualified appropriately for the current working environment, the course you need is Adobe Dreamweaver.

Additionally, it's good practice that you become fully conversant with the full Adobe Web Creative Suite, which includes Flash and Action Script, in order to use Dreamweaver professionally as a web designer. This knowledge can mean later becoming either an Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) or an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE).

In order to become a web designer of professional repute however, there is much more to consider. You'll be required to have knowledge of some programming essentials like HTML, PHP and MySQL. A working knowledge of Search Engine Optimisation and E Commerce will also improve your CV and employability.

Doing your bit in revolutionary new technology is about as exciting as it can get. You become one of a team of people defining the world to come.

Society largely thinks that the technological advancement we've been going through is slowing down. Nothing could be further from the truth. We have yet to experience incredible advances, and the internet particularly will be the most effective tool in our lives.

The average IT professional across the UK will also earn considerably more money than fellow workers in much of the rest of the economy. Average salaries are some of the best to be had nationwide.

It would appear there's no end in sight for IT sector expansion in the United Kingdom. The industry is continuing to expand hugely, and as we have a skills gap that means we only typically have three IT workers for every four jobs it's most unlikely that there'll be any kind of easing off for decades to come.

A proficient and specialised consultant (vs a salesman) will talk through your current experience level and abilities. This is vital for understanding the point at which you need to start your studies.

Where you have a strong background, or perhaps a bit of live experience (maybe some existing accreditation?) then obviously the point from which you begin your studies will be quite dissimilar from someone with no background whatsoever.

Opening with a basic PC skills module first can be the best way to get up and running on your IT program, but depends on your skill level.

In most cases, a normal trainee doesn't know where to start with the IT industry, or which sector to focus their retraining program on.

Perusing a list of IT job-titles is no use whatsoever. Surely, most of us have no idea what the neighbours do for a living - so we have no hope of understanding the intricacies of any specific IT role.

Consideration of these issues is important when you need to discover the right answers:

* Which type of person you reckon you are - the tasks that you find interesting, and conversely - what makes you unhappy.

* What length of time can you allocate for the retraining?

* What scale of importance is the salary - is it the most important thing, or does job satisfaction rate a lot higher on the scale of your priorities?

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

* The time and energy you will put into your training.

For most of us, getting to the bottom of these areas tends to require the help of an advisor who knows what they're talking about. And we're not only talking about the certifications - you also need to understand the commercial requirements and expectations also.

Most training providers will only provide support available from 9-6 (office hours) and sometimes later on specific days; most won't answer after 8-9pm at the latest and frequently never at the weekends.

Look for training where you can receive help at all hours of the day and night (even 1am on Sunday morning!) Ensure you get direct-access to qualified mentors and tutors, and not a message system as this will slow you down - waiting for tutors to call you back when it's convenient for them.

Top training providers opt for an online 24x7 service pulling in several support offices throughout multiple time-zones. You'll have a simple interface which seamlessly accesses whichever office is appropriate any time of the day or night: Support when it's needed.

If you accept anything less than online 24x7 support, you'll regret it. You may not need it late at night, but you may need weekends, early mornings or late evenings.

Bodybuilding Tips, How To Keep You Motivated & Succeed

By Ricardo d Argence

Success in the world of fitness is resultant of a variety of many different factors all of which depend on specific individuals. Each and every person will need to possess their own methods for focusing on their goals and that is fine. Some methods are consistently helpful from individual to individual. Following the basics of these concepts will definitely prove helpful to those that understand them. Here is a look at some of the top methods that will yield success.

1. Self-Efficacy. Without a doubt this is what many people consider to be the most important factor in any and all workout programs. This method can be defined as the proper personal belief that a person is truly capable of performing the achievement of the actual goal.

2. Family & Friend Support. When you take up a new exercise program your daily schedule will require a great many changes. This means you will need to alter some of the responsibilities of your time so that you can definitely find the time needed to commit to exercise sessions. With the help of a supportive family, your fitness goals will be much easier to achieve.

Perhaps one of your family members will need to take over the goal of cooking meals on specific nights of the week which will allow you to visit the gym. You may even have to alter your social circles with your friends to make your fitness sessions and, hopefully, they will be understanding.

3. A Positive Attitude. Having a positive attitude about your workout program will go along way to helping you stay motivated and committed. When you have positive thoughts regarding exercise, it makes it seem like less of a chore and more of an enjoyable experience to you. If you remain positive at all times you will be able to stay focused and look at how far you have come.

4. An Action Plan. Another highly important aspect of any and all workout programs or goals is the concept of an effective action plan. It is critical to possess the means to reach the desired end result and when lacking a detailed account on how to go about obtaining your desired goals, you will discover a great deal of difficulty achieving your goals.

5. Intrinsic Motivation. Intrinsic motivation is often quite misunderstood which is a shame considering how valuable and important it is in regards to boosting once chances of succeeding with fitness goals. Basically, what this type of motivation refers to is the act of performing something based solely on the notion that it is something that you love to do. This is a form of motivation that is quite common among athletes and those that take part in a hobby that they truly love to lose themselves in.

6. A Role Model. Role models have a tendency to prove significantly helpful in terms of their ability to aid you in making your goals. By looking towards someone that has achieved success in areas similar to where you wish to succeed, you will discover the role model becoming an inspiration that allows you to achieve beyond your initial expectations.

7. Knowledge. Having a solid knowledge base is highly necessary when putting together a workout program of any variety. Those that may lack a strong knowledge base in fitness and weight training, could seek to consult a fitness trainer, physical education instructor, or anyone that has solid knowledge on the subject of working out. Such people's experience can prove quite helpful and aid in delivering the much needed help you require. Those that are self-motivated could also explore magazines, books, or DVDs on the subject so as to gain a greater familiarity with the issue. Just be selective in your choice material to be sure you get the right items to review.

By taking the time to ensure you include each of these factors into your life before you start an exercise program, you will help to ensure you encounter nothing but success. You will also make yourself less stressed out about the lifestyle changes you are making and everything will run much more smoothly.
