Russian Women And Western Men

By Mark De Schutter

Everyone is looking for someone. Russian women seeking western men are becoming more popular. This is because western men are finding out how devoted and feminine they are. Not to mention how attractive. Western men love women who are devoted to them and only to them. Soon you will learn why Russian women look towards the western world for a man.

Russian women are strong as well and can also take care of themselves. But they do prefer a man to protect them and keep them safe. They have no problem putting their man first and seeking to give him his every desire. They do this willingly and happily without thinking twice. Western women look at it as being a 50/50 union.

They will also do anything to make their man happy because this is something they love to do. Not to say western women or any other woman of nationality doesn't do this. But Russian women seem to adapt more to their surroundings happily. They do not hide their affections that they are more than willing to please their man.

This is not to say that any other woman doesn't have this within them. But Russian woman live to give their devotion to whomever they love. Their kind of devotion is not learned it is part of them. For many generations Russian woman has always put their loved ones ahead of everything and everyone else. This is something that is not expected but something that is given.

Most men in general will say they want a strong independent woman. But typically within their own private thoughts they want a woman to take care of. After all up until the seventies was very normal and expected. Most western woman wants to be out in the workforce and run the corporate race. And some men may be a little intimidated.

Again this does not say Russian women do not have these same desires. But what is easy for the Russian woman to give up with no regrets may not be so for a western woman. Russian women have career plans and are very successful. They do not have to think twice to give it all up for their husband or family.

A Russian woman prides herself on how she looks and her femininely. That is something every man loves in a woman. The Russian woman will always dress to please no matter the occasion. To take such pride in her looks and making her man happy is their desire.

Russian women set out to get a western man because Russian men are scarce. There are many more women in Russia which is very good for the men. But this is not good for the women and in order to find someone they would have to look elsewhere. They pick western men because they love how they are. Some might say they are like their mothers in a sense. Because mom was devoted and Russian women desire the devotion for their man.

Pool Table Light: Clear Picture Of The Game

By Pamela Smith

Ten years ago, pool or billiards was generally considered a game played in seedy under-lit pool halls infused in thick cigarette smoke with shady characters of all stripes betting on a languid parlor game. The movie, The Color of Money starring Tom Cruise and the late Paul Newman, whose role of a veteran pool shark won for him his only Academy acting award, confirmed in the mind of the public the dubious character of pool. It takes a lot of skill to play pool and in equal measure plenty of light to play it properly. Hence, pool table light is important in this game.

With its newfound respectability, you can see pool games in ESPN and the best players earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes and more on product endorsements. You will notice these games aired on TV that the pool halls are very well lighted, which is pretty similar to indoor basketball games at night.

A pool table light will serve to provide sufficient luminescence for the playing surface, the billiard balls, the cue stick, and everything involved in the game to be visible. They can also create an environment intensifying the playing experience and the surrounding adornments. Because of longstanding prejudices, many conceptualized that an old ceiling light fixture is adequate to illuminate the pool table and everything else on it.

But just liken in any work activity, a focused source of light along with the ambient lighting given off by flush-mount or semi-flush ceiling fixtures are needed. This will illuminate the playing surface better and maybe even improve play. The added balance to the subtle style of the decor is a bonus.

Direct and indirect lighting fixtures are no same matters entirely. When you play the game of pool, this needs utilization of direct luminescence. A blinding spotlight over the pool table is not necessary for this purpose, illumination on the playing surface that does not cause glare or eye strain is what is necessary.

Typical lightings such hanging lamps or pendants are most suitable for pool tables. With the basic design of pool tables being long and narrow, the lights must match the design. A billiard lamp as long as a billiard table is desired, but pool tables usually measuring eight feet long, is not practical. A small light fixture over a pool table light blends well in this part of the game.

Just be sure that the light is at the center over the table. Players want see clearly the corner pockets in this game of angles. Shadows that smaller pool table light fixtures cause affect the outcome of the game, besides producing a gloomy atmosphere that harks back to the seedy period of this sport.

How to Win At Progressive Jackpots

If you have been playing progressive games and losing more than you are winning, then you are justified in asking how to win at progressive jackpots. After all, it is not against the law of man and of nature to try to win big amounts through jackpots. With that said, here are the ways to win progressive jackpots. Just keep in mind that these are suggestions on winning only. Actually winning at progressive jackpots requires a combination of knowledge and of luck, just like in life.

Play the Slot Machines with the Best Payouts

This is a very obvious advice but one that must be emphasized as it is often overlooked by online casino players. You have to search for the slot machines with the biggest and the best payouts to win at progressive jackpots. Well, of course, you have to play the slots themselves to determine which one offers the best payouts. However, if you cannot bet too much of your money on this kind of betting, you can always access the online review sites that find the machines with the best payouts!

Often, too, you will discover through these websites that online casinos offer better payouts than their land-based counterparts. It must be because online casinos have lesser overhead expenses, not to mention that the competition is so tough that better promotions must be made to entice more and more players. Of course, when playing the slot machines with the best payouts, you must also find the online casinos that offer bonus plays.

Play When the Jackpot Is Sufficiently Big

Big is a relative term although a million dollars is definitely big enough. Anyways, to win at progressive jackpots, you must know how slot games work. You will realize that playing when the jackpot is sufficiently big will provide bigger chances of winning it simply because you already have an edge.

An edge means that, in the long run, you can reasonably expect to win money at the slots than what you have poured into them. Indeed, the concept of "overdue" is an outdated one that you must abandon now or abandon all hope of ever winning at progressive jackpots.

Play at Full Coins

This is the most important tip in winning at progressive jackpots. You can and will only win it if you are playing the maximum number of coins! As such, if you plan on being a thrifty gambler, then don't waste your money because you will be significantly lessening your chances at winning this game, probably reducing it to zero. Besides, even if you do win the progressive jackpot by some fluke of fate, you will be shortchanging the game and yourself. And what profitable good is there in that? However, before you play full coins, always remember to read the payout tables. You want to play the machine that will provide the biggest payout with the smallest investment.

On a last note, the ways on how to win at progressive jackpots will start and end on your good financial management. You must learn to walk away if and when your limits for losing and winning have been achieved even when the jackpot seems within your reach. Keep in mind that playing progressive jackpots over and over again is not something you want to do for the rest of your life.

Manifesting Abundance - How You Can Have It All

By Anthea David

Manifesting abundance in your life is possible, no matter who you are or where you come from. Abundance comes into your life according to what you deeply are convinced you need, desire, and deserve. Most of who and what are in your life this very moment are reflections or expressions of these things, no matter if you consciously are aware of this or not.

Manifesting abundance is the knowing that thoughts have power. Your life has taken shape, beginning the moment you were born by the quality of your thoughts. When you were a baby, your quality of thought was only beginning to develop, since your thoughts focused on basic instincts and trying to absorb the vastness of the sensory input available to you.

From that point on, you learned to believe what your parents taught you. What you learned from your parents taught you how to socialize as a child. Then you went to school and learned that life is cold and unyielding. You were taught that manifesting abundance was foolish.

Sure, they told you, you might do it, but only if you beat yourself down with absurd amounts of hard work or just get lucky, or you have to have been born with some of the rarest and most incredible genes. The probability is that you won't have a life of abundance. It's not that you'll starve to death, or can't have a decent house (although maybe that will happen to you if you're not smart enough or if you just aren't lucky). It's just that you can forget about your big dreams, or the things out of the ordinary that would have deeper meaning for you, such as not just marrying anyone but marrying your soul mate.

But you can have abundance--and you don't have to rely on luck; and you don't need a so-called 'education'; and you don't need 'good genes'. You also do not need to live an existence where you are enslaved to drudgery, boredom, or doing any work that you hate.

You can thrive, since you have universal permission to do so, you deserve to thrive, you need to know this.

You need to know deep down inside your soul that you deserve to manifest abundance. Particular things can make this a reality and you need to understand and embrace that.

Everyone is different, the cosmic laws of manifesting abundance is universal. They find unique expression in you and your life. For instance, as a musician applies a universal law while playing an instrument yet has a unique style for composing and playing. In order not to become confused, you need to keep this in mind. Manifesting abundance has nothing to do with keeping up with anyone else.

You may or may not get married when you manifest abundance in your life. You may or may not become famous or wealthy. You may just make enough money to meet your needs and live comfortably in an area of your choosing.

It is the desires of your heart that are important, since manifesting abundance means to manifest the desires of your heart. Living your fantasies is what it is all about in reality.

So. What does it take to manifest abundance? What are the cosmic laws that you must align yourself with regardless of who you are?

* You deserve to live your fantasies. Take the time to find a quiet space or some internally private space each day for yourself, if this is hard for you to realize. You need to meditate on the concept of you being deserving of your desires. There are various ways to meditate, so learn how if you do not already know how. Since you have been conditioned for so long to think you are not good enough for a charmed life, you need to re-program yourself and recondition yourself to know the opposite.

* You need to know why you want those things you want and it needs to be deeply ingrained in your mind. If it is not, you will manifest things that you really do not want or need, remember you should not ask for anything you do not want since that is what will manifest in your life.

*Once you are sure you know why you want something, just let your fantasy world take over. Focus intensely on your arising fantasies.

* You will be inspired to take action to fulfill your fantasy, take all those opportunities. If you feel you need more knowledge, go online, read, order books, and watch videos that help you gain that knowledge. Follow your inspiration to go to certain places and websites and so on.

*It's not that your abundance will manifest without work; rather, it's that the work you do for it will be so inspired that it won't even seem like work to you, like a professional baseball player 'going to work' by playing his sport and getting paid millions of dollars for it.

*Allow things to manifest in your life as they will. Never try to force them. Know that the desired thing or event is 'in production' or 'being shipped to you' right now, and have the patience that comes with this certain knowing.

Your lifetime dreams are waiting for you; you need to move towards them to manifest abundance.

Why The Full HD TV Is The Best

By Robbie Densmore

Ask anybody in the world who knows about televisions which one is the best. They will all tell you the same thing without hesitation or stutter. The best TV out there today is the full high definition television. Also known as the full HD TV. It does however have a couple more names and these are always being added upon. All these other names agree too that the full high definition TV is the best. It is the true high definition TV.

There is no way of describing the superiority of the full hd TVs' resolution without telling you about the high definition TVs' resolution. The high definition is achieved by increasing the number of horizontal lines that run vertically on the TV to make the image. The standard definition TV had 480. The hd TV has a maximum of 1080i. The full hd TV comes in at double that of the high definition TV.

Being of higher quality the full high definition TV will therefore come at a different price too. The high definition TV's start from anywhere around three hundred and fifty dollars and go up to about five thousand dollars. The full high definition TV is priced at almost double this price. If you ask me though I think it is very worth it. Some may say they would rather wait for the prices to come down but this will take quite a while.

The quality of the full high definition TV however can only be noticed above that of the high definition TV if you get the right size. For example if you put a 32 inch full high definition TV next to a high definition TV of equal size you will not notice a difference. The resolution of both the TV's will look exactly the same. It beats the point therefore of buying a higher priced full high definition TV that is 32 inches.

As with many other new technologies out there the competition between the full high density brands is at an all time high. This can be very confusing when you go out to the store to buy yours. I therefore suggest that you do some research to find the world's leading brands. Some of the brands that I would recommend are; Pioneer kuro, Panasonic viera and the Sony bravia.

The full hd and high definition televisions have their own formatting. The picture clarity cannot be appreciated on these televisions if the media is the old standard format. They have to be put in high resolutions beginning from 720 to 1080i. They are put on a different type of disc too. One of the most common of these is the blue ray disc.

After one has chosen to buy a full high definition TV they will still have a few more sub choices to go through. One of the most common choices that they will have to make is whether to go with the plasma or the LCD full high definition. The plasma full high definition is apparently supposed to have more realistic motion that is more apparent as the screen size increases.

From there on the only other choice you would have would be the size. This may be according to the size of your room or the size of the wall unit you will be putting it in.

Steelers Beat Titans in Season Opener

By Elliot Bravans

Someone bring Lendale White a tissue. I suppose he might want to conceal his head under one on his trip out of Pittsburgh.

On a night in which Troy Polamalu went down to a knee wound, Wille Parker and the rest of the Steelers RB unit couldn't manage to get the ball rolling, and Hines Ward did one thing he hardly ever does - fumbled in a giant play scenario. Ben Roethlisberger was steady in the back field, took a small number of sacks, however ultimately architected yet one more game winning drive to help the Steelers beat the Titans 13-10 in the NFL inaugural game.

It didn't start off well for Roethlisberger and company; Tennessee brought their "A" game and practically shut Pittsburgh's rush game down.

Roethlisberger was composed under pressure, though. Sure, he threw two interceptions (Brett Favre does this religiously, and there are people willing to bow down to him when he comes into a room, so get over it).

However he moreover threw for 363 yards, including 60 yards during his last drive of the game.

The team's defensive unit rose to the occasion and executed when the chips were down, chiefly on special teams, where a blocked Rob Bironas field goal led to their lone touchdown of the game.

Of course, that play cost them Troy Polamalu, but it only set them back for a moment or two.

If Hines Ward had either fallen down or turned a little more quickly at the climax of his run in the fourth quarter, the game would have finished earlier.

Although this was too nice a contest to not go to OT. Both franchises had played hard, both organizations had athletes sidelined to injury, and an extra period seemed the only just way to resolve the game.

If, that is, you can call NFL overtimes fair.

After Pittsburgh won the toss, Roethlisberger and the team took advantage of a wheezing Tennessee defense, heading downfield for 63 yards to set up the game-winning field goal.

How to Win At a Series Slot

In an online casino, as it is in its land-based counterpart, the ability to win at a series slot is a highly admired and highly valued skill. After all, the payouts are very generous considering the small amount of investments that you pour into them. As such, you will be asking all and sundry how to win at a series shot with varying success. Well, let this article become your definitive although short guide to winning your next series of slot games.

Quit While You Are Ahead

You are probably asking why this advice should be first on the line. It is simple, really. When you have won a sufficient amount of money to make your clean profit, stop right there. You must not push your luck since you can lose everything including your initial investment at the next play. This also goes for losing. When you have lost all that you can lose, quit. You can always return tomorrow. Both of these situations will ensure that you still have money in your pockets to play another and yet another day.

And when you find yourself becoming more and more frustrated with the results of a particular slot machine, take a break and get some air. Keep in mind that playing the slot machines is a game of chance. As such, your luck may be off today. Maybe tomorrow it will come back so you can play then.

Learn to Read the Payout Schedules

This will take practice but when you do know how to read the payout schedules, you will be able to choose the slot machine with the biggest payout at the smallest possible investment. You can ask more experienced players and even the slot manager for tips on this aspect.

Use Your Cash, Not Your Credit

When starting to play the series slot machines, you must make it a habit, a good one at that, to only play from your first bankroll. Your credits must be left intact in your account. This is because you want to preserve as much profit as you can while rolling your first bankroll as much as possible.

Play the Maximum Bet

This is especially true for progressive jackpots. In order to win at this kind of game, you must play the maximum number of coins simply because this is the way that slot machines work. And speaking of progressive jackpot games, in order to win and win big at these games, you should play when the jackpot money is sufficiently big to justify your investment. Keep in mind that your investment may be bigger than a regular series slot machine but the payout is also bigger. This advice is strongly related to learning to read the payout schedules. You want to play maximum coins at the slot machine with the biggest payout, right?

In conclusion, learning how to win at a series shot involves plenty of hands-on experience, a little bit of research on the side and some luck at the slot machines. Sooner or later, you ought to be able to win a series slot game if and when you keep at it, within reasonable limits, of course.

Determining The Right Stopwatch For You

By Oliver Richard

A stopwatch is a must for any sporting event. In fact, the event can't go on if you don't have a stopwatch and that is why it is so important to choose the right model. Many think it is going to be a simple task, since there is only one kind of stopwatch, but this is not true by a long shot! There are many different models with different functions and you have to know which you need for your intended purpose.

Swimming is a unique sporting event and it is of utmost importance that the competitors accurately be timed. Therefore, you need one that is both waterproof and capable of tracking laps. You can hold any stopwatch and although there is never an intention of letting it fall, it still happens that it drops into the water. This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does you'll have to dive in and retrieve it.

If the watch stops working because it's been underwater then you've probably chosen a bad watch for this event. Not only that, it needs to be able to stand up to just a little bit of water splashing it. There's nothing more annoying than losing track of everyone's time because a little drop of water his the display. When selecting a waterproof watch it would help to make sure that it is waterproof up to a certain depth. If the depth is one foot or so then you're probably going to have a problem.

For track and field you will also need a stopwatch, but it is absolutely necessary to have one that is robust and capable of tracking the laps for several runners. The perfect stopwatch should also reset easily and have easy access to the buttons so that you will keep up with this fast paced sport.

Those are just a few examples of sports that require a stopwatch. There are still other considerations to keep in mind, though. One of those the whether or not a stopwatch comes with a manual.

Normally people don't believe that they need to read a manual to use a stopwatch, but it is a good thing to have when you come across a function that you don't recognize. When that happens, all of a sudden the manual is brought out and if it is not a good one, it will not help you figure out what the function is or even what it is called. Therefore, if the stopwatch comes with a nice, big, clearly written manual, then that one should be chosen over similar models with a bad manual written in a foreign language.

These are just a few of the details that you need to know before you purchase a new stopwatch for any reason. Make sure that you follow these tips and you should never have any problem at any sort of sporting even. Remember, you are only as good as your sto

The idea of just having six pack abs in the shortest time possible was more than enough motivation for me. And I assure you, this one is definitely a no-lose case.

True enough, it did work for me! Let me share with you the details of the 10-minute home exercise that helped me flatten my stomach.

When you are determined to get six pack abs, you will try almost anything to achieve your goal. But wait, do not get the wrong idea that I want you to buy any exercise equipments or get an exclusive membership in a prestigious gym. No, that is not what I am trying to point out.

This workout program may save you time, but it will require you to push harder. After all, no pain no gain, right?

First thing you need to remember is that you should perform your home workout to flatten abs directly before a meal. Why? Imagine yourself walking through the Sahara desert. After a period of time, you will have the urge to drink.

In like manner, your muscles crave for nourishment right after an intense workout. As you pacify your muscles' hunger with food, you are actually conditioning them to build more mass. That?s why it would be best if you incorporated a decent amount of protein into your post-workout meals.

For your actual workout, lie down on the floor and start off with about 50 basic crunches. Do them faster than you normally would, but try to maintain your form.

Your home workout to flatten abs does not end there. Immediately after doing your crunches, perform about 25 leg raises before completing another set of 50 crunches. Midway through, I am sure you will start to feel your muscles burning, and trust me, that is a GOOD THING.

Soon after the crunches, perform about 50 reps of the bicycle routine. That makes 25 reps per side crunch and knee-bend. As you wrap up your routine, have one more round of 50 crunches. It?s as simple as that.

It may seem hard, but just 10 MINUTES of that is definitely worth it. Once you have gotten the hang of it, your home workout to flatten abs will soon become a breeze. Push yourself during that small amount of time and you will soon enjoy the fruits of your labor.

ABC Lost: Hither We Are, Wither We Go?

By J. D Theis

ABC Lost has been one of the most successful television series in the history of American Television and rightly so as it is an amazing conflation of mystery, drama, humor and supernatural elements that make it really worthwhile to watch.

The creators didn?t think it to achieve such level of success when they first penned it down and agreed for its production into a TV Show to be telecast on ABC, the channel whose TRPs were dwindling by the day at that time, in 2004. But the show not only breathed life in the otherwise choked sales of ABC but also bought a fresh surge of excitement in the lives of the fans which has otherwise become too predictable and monotonous. But as it is said, unpredictability adds spice to life and so did the chain of highly unpredictable events did in the lives of the fans who took absolutely no time in becoming addicted to the Lost on ABC.

The ABC Lost is a trend-breaking show portraying the saga of 48 passengers of the Oceanic Flight 815 who are trying hook and nail to survive on an enchanted and desolate island in the Pacific Ocean after the flight crash-landed on the island, as shown in the pilot episode of the first season of ABC Lost. After that, the Lost on ABC has come a long way with the happenings of the first season appearing to have occurred in some other era, to some other people.

The ABC Lost teaches the survivors some really tough lessons in life and it can rightly be called the tale of the survival of the fittest, with the only exception that not only the nature but other supernatural elements have even conspired to obstruct all such attempts.

Some people try to compartmentalize it as a fight of Good against Evil but I bet you can?t decide who is really evil or who is an angel. Doesn?t it depend upon the perception of the beholder?? Join the discussion on www.lost-tv-show.com. Stay tuned into the Lost on ABC.

CompTIA Career Retraining Uncovered

By Jason Kendall

The CompTIA A+ training program covers four areas of training; you're thought of as an A+ achiever once you've passed your exams for half of them. This is why it's usual for colleges to offer only two of the training courses. In reality you will need the teaching in all areas as a lot of employment will be looking for an awareness of each specialist area. It's not essential to pass exams in all of them, however we'd advise that you learn about all four.

A+ computer training courses cover fault-finding and diagnostics - via hands on and remote access, as well as building and fixing and having knowledge of antistatic conditions.

Should you want to work towards being responsible for networks of computers, you'll need to add CompTIA Network+ to your training package. This qualification will prepare you to command a more senior job role. You may also want to consider the route to networking via Microsoft, in the form of MCP's, MCSA or the full MCSE.

We can all agree: There really is very little evidence of individual job security available anymore; there can only be market or business security - a company will let anyone go whenever it fits the business' trade requirements.

However, a marketplace with high growth, with huge staffing demands (as there is a massive shortfall of fully trained professionals), creates the conditions for true job security.

Looking at the IT sector, a key e-Skills study showed a more than 26 percent skills deficit. Therefore, out of each 4 positions that are available throughout IT, businesses are only able to find certified professionals for three of them.

Fully skilled and commercially grounded new employees are thus at a resounding premium, and it looks like they will be for much longer.

It would be hard to imagine if a better time or market conditions is ever likely to exist for getting trained into this quickly emerging and evolving market.

A useful feature that many training companies provide is a programme of Job Placement assistance. The service is put in place to help you get your first commercial position. Sometimes, this feature is bigged up too much, as it is actually not that hard for well qualified and focused men and women to land work in this industry - as there is such a shortage of well trained people.

You would ideally have CV and Interview advice and support though; also we would encourage any student to work on polishing up their CV the day they start training - don't put it off for when you're ready to start work.

Many junior support roles have been bagged by people who are still studying and haven't got any qualifications yet. This will at least get you into the 'maybe' pile of CV's - rather than the 'No' pile.

In many cases, an independent and specialised local employment service (who will, of course, be keen to place you to receive their commission) should get better results than any sector of a centralised training facility. In addition, they will no doubt know the local industry and employment needs.

A big frustration for various training companies is how hard people are focused on studying to pass exams, but how un-prepared they are to work on getting the role they've trained for. Don't give up when the best is yet to come.

Traditional teaching in classrooms, using textbooks and whiteboards, can be pretty hard going sometimes. If you're nodding as you read this, check out study materials that are on-screen and interactive.

Where we can utilise all of our senses into our learning, our results will often be quite spectacular.

Locate a program where you'll receive a selection of CD and DVD based materials - you'll begin by watching videos of instructors demonstrating the skills, and then have the opportunity to use virtual lab's to practice your new skills.

It makes sense to see examples of the courseware provided before you sign the purchase order. You should expect video tutorials, instructor demo's and interactive modules with audio-visual elements.

Purely on-line training should be avoided. Always choose CD or DVD based study materials where possible, enabling them to be used at your convenience - it's not wise to be held hostage to a quality and continuous internet connection.

At times individuals don't comprehend what information technology is doing for all of us. It's thrilling, changing, and means you're working on technology affecting everyones lives in the 21st century.

We're at the dawn of starting to comprehend what this change will mean to us. How we correlate with the world as a whole will be profoundly affected by technology and the internet.

A typical IT technician across the UK is likely to earn significantly more than his or her counterpart outside of IT. Typical remuneration packages are around the top of national league tables.

The requirement for properly certified IT professionals is assured for quite some time to come, due to the continuous expansion in the marketplace and the huge shortage that we still have.

'Exam Guarantees' are often bundled with training offers - this always means exams have to be paid for upfront, at the start of your training. Before you jump at a course with such a promise, why not look at the following:

Thankfully, today we have to be a bit more aware of hype - and generally we grasp that it is actually an additional cost to us - it's not because they're so generous they want to give something away!

The honest truth is that if a student pays for their own exams, one by one, the chances are they're going to qualify each time - since they're aware of the cost and so will prepare more thoroughly.

Why should you pay the training course provider early for exam fees? Go for the best offer when you're ready, instead of paying a premium - and do it in a local testing centre - rather than possibly hours away from your area.

Paying in advance for exam fees (and if you're financing your study there'll be interest on that) is bad financial management. Why fill a company's coffers with your hard-earned cash just to give them a good cash-flow! There are those who hope that you will never make it to exams - then they'll keep the extra money.

It's worth noting, with the majority of Exam Guarantees - they control when and how often you can do your re-takes. You'll have to prove conclusively that you can pass before they'll pay for another exam.

Exam fees averaged approximately 112 pounds in the last 12 months when taken at UK VUE or Prometric centres. So why pay hundreds or thousands of pounds extra to get 'Exam Guarantees', when any student knows that the responsible approach is a regular, committed, study programme, with an accredited exam preparation system.

The Top Teams in Pro Basketball

By Will Broomes

Los Angeles Lakers

Kobe Bryant lately turned 31 (Aug. 23), although he's just "ripe for the choosing". His team ended the 2008-09 year in otherworldly fashion.

The Lakers are recently off signing Ron Artest and re-signing Lamar Odom. Andrew Bynum and the Lakers agreed to a lucrative $58 million agreement during the 2008 year and, if he can stay in good condition, can possibly emerge as a "consistent" high impact factor in the paint (both on offense and defense).

And if this were not enough for Kobe, he's additionally got Pau Gasol and one of the best coaches in NBA history.

Orlando Magic

They are well-rounded, notably at the frontcourt position. With the acquisitions of Vince Carter as well as Ryan Anderson (through the Courtney Lee/Rafer Alston/Tony Battie trade), the selection of (Jason) Williams (for point guard depth), Brandon Bass, and Matt Barnes, the contract extension of Marcin Gortat, and the presence of Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis, Jameer Nelson, and Mickael Pietrus, the Magic are looking quite more like the wicked villain they ended up as in the Eastern Conference Championship.

Only this time, they are shooting for a championship. Howard even forced himself and Nelson to sit in on the Lakers' celebrations, in an effort to prevent experiencing a similar type of disappointment.

San Antonio Spurs

They drafted up yet an extra under-the-radar player in this season's draft, passed up by other teams because of an injury he sustained during high school.

I'm talking, of course, about DeJuan Blair. You know, the guy who flipped Hasheem Thabeet, this season's number 2 choice (overall), as if he was a Raggedy Ann doll.

So, with the enhancements of Richard Jefferson and veterans Antonio McDyess and Theo Ratliff, the Spurs are looking even additionally frightening from the perimeter, and less exposed in the paint (when Duncan needs to sit; whether for rest or to avoid possible injury).

Call 'em elderly, call them uninteresting, even Eva Longoria-Parker is a lover of the team. After all, might you essentially be mistaken with a franchise filled entire of battle-tested experienced players?

How to Successfully Master The Game of Basketball

By Faisal Naser

Youth Basketball can take on a variety of levels and types. It can be part of the peewee leagues which is designed for children who are too young for the more sophisticated scholastic leagues. They could also just start playing in the playground for the fun of it. And, then there are those kids who play during the school years. There can also be those who take on three sports considered your typical jock types. In fall you have football; basketball is during the winter months and in the spring track and basketball takes over. As you begin this final stage of play, children may have progressed to adolescence leaving a lasting impression on them long after they've graduated.

It is during these sporting events and seasons that life long friendships will be made and memories will be constant. Certain games will be the topic of many conversations and this will flow through the years for those who were involved in it.

With Basketball Plays, consider the fact that a child can be defined as anywhere up to high school; so, you would have children up to about 14 years old that need to be taught the fundamentals of the game.

Taking into account a child's lack of attention span during the formative years, this will naturally follow with the team sports portion of their lives. Therefore, when practicing plays with children in this age group, allowances should be made for them, and there should be an even balance between practice and fun. This type of leeway doesn't need to be given as much to a high school team that is much more mature and focused.

These youth want to simply shot the ball only and will not typically understand the reasons for certain types of drills. They will usually not work hard at getting their bodies into shape either and will not stretch properly unless given direct instruction.

But, these are the times when the typical athlete will begin to show in the child and will be the beginning of a potentially wonderful sporting career that may just continue throughout their later years. This will make them popular in school and may even catch the eye of and be the reason of the local high school coach's drool. Often local high school coaches will watch certain players and how they progress while waiting for their arrival into their programs. By that time, a potential coach will know what the player is capable of.

In any case, Basketball Tips improves players that have made accomplishments and learned the game even if they began in the peewee league and not as the top player on the team. With that said, these children may have a lot more experience than a player that hasn't come up through the ranks. This could mean the difference between starting and bench warming because of their experience level.

UFC 92 Flashback: Mir Shocks Nogueira

By Ross Everett

Two titles changed hands at UFC 92, with Rashad Evans defeating Forrest Griffin by TKO to win the light heavyweight title and Frank Mir knocking out Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira to claim the UFC interim heavyweight title.

While nominally taking subordinate status to the Evans/Griffin main event the most shocking result by far was Frank Mirs second round TKO stoppage of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Nogueira was the overwhelming favorite coming into the fight and had never been stopped inside the distance during a career where hed faced the best of the best:

Mir, meanwhile, had been on the verge of a full time move to the broadcast booth before his victory over WWE superstar turned MMA fighter Brock Lesnar. The conventional wisdom concerning Mir was that hed never fully recovered from a serious motorcycle accident in 2004. He eventually returned to the octagon, and after two TKO losses in his first three comeback fights began to consider the possibility that he just didnt have it any more.

Always a quick witted and highly cerebral fighter, Mir had been very impressive with his commentary work on WEC broadcasts. A highly respected BJJ black belt, his knowledge of submission technique was legendary but in his broadcast role also displayed not only tremendous poise behind the mic but the sort of innate ability to see the fight several moves ahead of the competitors"the same ability displayed by the legendary Bas Rutten in his broadcasting work. When the fight against Brock Lesnar was signed, the perception among most fans was that Mir was a high profile setup for the former WWE champ"a big name on the downside of his career that would be physically overwhelmed by the strength and athleticism of his opponent. The expectation was that after a one-sided loss to Lesnar that Mir would transition into the next phase of his career as a broadcaster.

For the first minute of the fight, it looked like the above scenario was going to play out"Lesnar manhandled Mir from the opening horn, taking him down and landing punishing hammer fists on the ground. That was rendered irrelevant, however, when Lesnar made a rookie mistake and dangled his leg in easy reach of the BJJ blackbelt. Mir locked in a deep knee bar and Lesnar was forced to tap. Even with the submission victory, however, the perception was that Mir had gotten lucky when Lesnar made a rookie mistake.

There would be no such reprieve against Nogueira, according to many pundits, as he was too experienced and too good of a BJJ player in his own right to give Mir any such opportunities for a fluke submission. Mir entered the UFC 92 fight as a +305 wagering underdog, meaning that oddsmakers and the betting public agreed that he had little chance to prevail in this matchup against a highly experienced veteran that had never been stopped inside the distance.

The fight was certainly one-sided, but it was Mir who was in control throughout. From the opening horn he demonstrated surprisingly sharp striking skills, and knocked Nogueira down twice in the first round. Not expecting a solid standup offense, Nogueira looked downright lost in the later stages of the first round as Mir doubled and tripled up his jab and threw impressive punching combinations to go with low kicks and occasional takedown attempts.

After a low kick attempt by Nogueira, Mirs counter tagged his opponent and he followed up with a big right hook that sent the Brazilian crashing to the canvas. Herb Dean jumped in to stop the fight almost immediately, awarding Mir an improbable TKO victory at 1:54 seconds of round #2.

In the light heavyweight championship match, Forrest Griffin got off to a good start in his title defense by using his superior height and reach and an impressive array of kicks to keep Rashad Evans just out of range for two full rounds. That changed dramatically in the third, as Evans ended the fight with a punishing punching attack.

The most highly anticipated match on the undercard also featured a lopsided TKO finish as Quinton Rampage Jackson dominated Wanderlei Silva in the third fight between the two men. It was Jacksons first fight since his well publicized hit and run incident in Orange County, California and he looked very sharp throughout before bringing the contest to a close with a perfectly placed left hook to the cheekbone.

Chuck Rosenthal Paintings

By Penny Logan

Chuck Rosenthal's well known still life paintings in oils and pastels do not eclipse his other work. Indeed, some of his landscapes and paintings of people in local scenes may outshine his still lifes.

Do you ever wonder what the artist himself has to say about art? Conveniently Mr. Rosenthal has left us an "artist's statement."

Artists willing to let us viewers know a little bit about their thoughts on art write an "artist's statement" and Mr. Rosenthal has done just that. The artist says,

"I believe that truly Fine Art encompasses every aspect of the visual experience, from dramatic, or at least, interesting placement of the elements in the painting to the truest atmospheric values within the capability of the artist. All of this is intended to create an impact on the viewer that is so real as to provoke an emotional response. Strong contrasts of form and lighting are an important component.

"Looking at the long view of the development of western art one would see that there is a progression of stiff, awkward drawing gradually developing, over time, into the most sophisticated and articulate forms imaginable.

"Fortunately, traditional values in art are undergoing a revival in our time and I am greatly pleased to be a part of it."

When the young artist enrolled in the National Academy of Design in New York City in 1963 he studied under Morton Roberts, a well-known fine artist and illustrator. His intention was to learn to draw, in order to become a commercial artist, but that idea was deleted within three months, and Mr. Rosenthal set himself a goal to become a fine artist.

Many awards came his way for his artwork while he was at the National Academy. A scholarship to the academy and the Dr. Weller student prize were at the top of the list. In 1968 he gained membership to America's oldest and most venerated arts and letters club, the Salmagundi Club, through efforts of another of his teachers, Daniel Greene.

As with many artists, Mr. Rosenthal continued to paint and learn, but due to family situations he was not able to dedicate full time to perusing a profession in fine art.

The goal of a career in fine art finally blossomed after Mr. Rosenthal left New York City and moved to Clearwater, Florida. Since the year 2000, several awards at local art shows have come his way, including two first places and a third place. One of his paintings hangs at Clearwater City Hall. His pastel work of a local landmark, Clearwater Memorial Bridge was selected for an international juried competition.

Many of his paintings hang at Park Place Gallery in Kansas City, Missouri.

Forget Spending Tons of Cash On Wii Games - How To Download Wii Games Instead

A Review Of Joana's Leveling Guide

By Bob Hobson

Joana's leveling guide has long been the top of the list of favourite leveling guides for Horde characters. However, this reputation is very well deserved since not only many years of experience have gone into making this guide, but it is also frequently updated.

What's more, the leveling guide is also frequently updated. As Warcraft is a continuously updated game, changes need to be frequently added. If, for example you by the official strategy guide, it is going to be out of date in a matter of months. Because Warcraft is a dynamic and living world, you will find it a bit of a waste of money.

However, any updates to Joana's leveling guides are also completely free so once you buy the product, you will not need spend any more money in the future. This can work out a lot cheaper than many of the other competing guides.

Also, Joana's leveling guide includes everything you need to know about level seventy to eighty. It is surprising how many guides are still out there which only focus on the first seventy levels, since the level cap has been raised months ago.

It also takes you right up to the maximum level, currently level 80. There are still guides out there which will only help you to level seventy or even any level sixty. These are pretty useless these days, since the slowest and most difficult part of leveling tends to be from seventy to eighty.

This guide will help you a lot simply because it integrates and add-on into the game which will point you in the right direction. This way you will never get lost and you will never have to minimize the game to review the guide. The in game guide includes all sorts of waypoints, telling you where to get the best quests, where to hand them in and of course, how to do the quests themselves.

Any quest which are slightly confusing and are not just a simple kill x number of mobs or collect x number of objects will be explained thoroughly in the game itself. It makes the whole process much quicker, and you should expect to be leveling faster than just about anyone else you have ever played with.

There is also a guide for the Death Knight starting area and much more. It also gives you quite a few useful extras which you will definitely find come in handy.

To conclude with an important advise for all future hairdressers: don?t waste your time in striving from the start to be ?the dream hairdresser ever?, take it with loads of patience and understanding, learn and steal from the best, keep yourself updated to all products and techniques that continuously emerge and get more and more spectacular in this branch.

You can now relax and enjoy yourself.

Personally, I believe that in these times of recession, one ought to prefer buying an electric bike conversion kit rather than opting for a brand new electric bike. This decision hs mant dvntages. One of them is that, this conersion kit is very cheap. Instead of spending a huge amount of money on electric bike, I would simply convert my bicycle to n electric one. I don't need fuel to power my bike. When it runs down I recharge and ride on.

It is obvious that bicycle manufacturers greatly outnumber electric bike manufacturers. So, there are more brands of bicycles than electric bikes. Buying a conversion kit gives you a chance to choose any bike that suits your lifestyle.

An electric bike kit has another advantage. The electric bike is heavier than a bicycle converted to an electric bike. This makes riding very easy and comfortable.

For physical fitness, riding the electric bike is a highly recommended exercise. You can lose extra calories without stress by simply installing an electric bike kit to your bicycle. Certain ailments like arthritis, diabetes and hypertension are best managed by recommending stress less and enjoyable exercises of this sort.
