The Very Best Internet Casino Special Sign-Up Offers

by Simon M Skinner

You may have seen some of the ads and come-ons for major casinos that provide perks and bonuses to their high rolling guests. These can be pretty tempting, and they may have you salivating as you consider what you could do with the free plays, bonus chips and other extras. The only trouble is that the casinos are far away and can involve a lot more financial outlay than you have available at the moment. Okay, maybe a trip to Atlantic City, Las Vegas or Monte Carlo isn?t in the stars for you just yet. Don't worry, because you can still enjoy online gambling and take advantage of some of the best casino bonuses in the world.

Now that online casino is taking the industry by storm, they are offering their players wonderful bonuses. Each online gaming site is competing against one another to gain the most business. The bonus offers are designed to bring your attention to their site and to get your business before another online casino site does. Basically, it is almost like you are getting paid to gamble, which is not that bad of an idea.

Just look through the list of some of the more popular casino bonuses:

No Deposit Bonus-this is a true freebie deal and is exactly what it says, 'no deposit'. You are not required to deposit any kind of funds to try this bonus out on any games of your choosing.

Matching Bonus: This is where you will open an account, add some funds to your account and the casino will give you a matching bonus, dollar per dollar up to a predetermined amount. You could very well see your casino money double or even triple in size simply because of the bonus.

The Monthly Casino Bonus: This is an on-going bonus where casinos will give you a set amount of free money or free chips each money. This is their way of trying to make sure that you keep coming back to play on their site.

Percentage Bonuses- these are similar to the matching bonuses, but are calculated to an exact percentage of your deposit. For instance a 50% percentage bonus would let you receive $100 worth of free chips with a $200 deposit.

The Cash Back Bonuses: While many people desire these bonuses, they are a little bit on the hard side to find. With the cash back bonus you will be repaid any monies that you lose during a specific time of play.

Refer A Friend: The referral program will add chips or money into your account each time someone signs up as a referral from you. Since you referring the online casino to your friends help their business, they in turn help you a little.

Swing Trading Explained (Part I)

By Ahmad Hassam

Lets take the analogy of a cricket team. There are 11 players in each team in the match. All players are talented and super fit. Everyone can throw and catch the ball. Everyone is a hard hitter. However some are more skilled at balling. Others are more skilled at batting. Not many runs will be made and the match will be lost if the baller is going to do the job of the batter. Not knowing what type of a trader you are can make or break your trading career. Determining your trading style is very important right from the beginning.

In general there are three type of trading styles: Position trading, swing trading and day trading. Investing in the currency markets or stock markets is also the same. It depends on your personality makeup what type of trading is best suited to you. You need to know what type of trading style is for you.

For example, you expect the USD to strengthen against GBP in the coming six months. You buy currency call options on USD and currency put options on GBP. In currency trading, position trading means you are in a trade for many months trying to capitalize on a major long term move in the currency market. Options traders can also be position traders through covered calls and other options trading strategies. Position Trading is generally the buy and hold strategy employed by most people of investing in stocks over a long haul. Usually positions traders are in a trade for a large long term move like when you carry trade AUD/JPY.

Swing trading is possibly the most dynamic of the three types of trading as the swing trader is able to switch up holding times quickly as the market demands. Swing Trading means taking short term positions in anticipation of quick market movements over a series of days or weeks. Swing traders take advantage of technical and fundamental analysis.

Day trading is not easy and it is certainly not a hobby. Sometimes when the positions warrants holding for a longer period, day trading can become swing trading! In Day Trading, you attempt to capitalize on intraday movements with the markets often trading on momentum and news. Day traders are also known as Kings of Stress.

Day trading is the riskiest of the three trading styles. Day trading is ideal for those who are able to handle erratic market movements while actually also having time to monitor the positions throughout the day. You should note that if you dont have time to watch your trades every moment, you should not think of day trading.

Know That Swing Trading Is a Better Alternative to Day Trading Day trading hardly ever ends up well especially if the trader has no previous professional trading experience. Only 10% of the day traders succeed. Many people are attracted to the glamour and excitement of day trading. Most day trader usually blow up their accounts and fade away soon.

Swing trading can be on the other hand a much more effective trading style especially if you are a newer trader. By holding positions overnight and even for a few weeks, you can expose less money for larger moves. If you are a new trader, think about it for a moment.

Cuba An Ideal Holiday Destination

By Jose Mauricio Maurette

Cuba Beaches with white, grey, black and golden sand contrast with blue or aqua-green seas; the calm water near a mountain peak hides the inner beauty of its seabed. Some of its coasts are on the Caribbean; others, on the Atlantic. In both cases, its shores tempt you to give yourself over to the sensual, magical movement of the waves.

There is an average of 330 sunny days a year, with few clouds. The main tourist resorts (including the ones on the cays) have international airports, and the excellent hotel infrastructure is complemented with a wide range of extra hotel facilities (car and bus rentals, marinas, scuba-diving centers, shops, beauty parlors, fitness centers, etc.), entertainment during the day and at night, excursions to nearby cities, medical attention, and special family and honeymoon Cuba holiday packages.

The Cuban archipelago, which is 42,854 square miles (110,992 square kilometers) in size, consists of the main island of Cuba-a long and narrow island measuring 744 miles (1200 kilometers) from east to west, the largest island in the Antilles-the Isle of Youth and around 4195 other cays and islets.

It has over 3560 miles (5746 kilometers) of irregular coastline, including more than 200 bays and over 300 beaches whose sand is of different colors and textures. It is common knowledge that the Cuban sea is of excellent quality.

Not disappointed thousands of tourists who make dives here every year, some of them as beginners making their maiden dives in Cuban waters, accompanied by experienced divers whose expertise is attested to by the World Underwater Federation (CMAS), the American-Canadian Underwater Certification (ACUC) for scuba-diving classes and other prestigious international schools.

Coral reefs extend along practically the entire edge of the broad insular shelf (for around 1984 miles, or 3200 kilometers). More than half of these reefs are separated from the main island by large areas of shallow water and groups of cays.

Caves, profusely decorated vertical walls, tunnels, cliffs and channels offer endless options for scuba diving both during the day and at night.... Experiences go from simple observation to swimming near large fish in complete safety.

Cuba without a doubt is one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the Caribbean. Combine that fact with a super rich history and you have the perfect formula for an unforgettable holiday.

Great Places to Ride Your Bike in Arkansas

By PJ Walker

Arkansas, you might not know, has some excellent biking trails for riders of every skill level. Arkansas has the Mississippi River, Buffalo River, Ouachita Mountains and the Ozarks, all of which provide incredible biking opportunities. Below are a few of my favorites, I hope you get the chance to enjoy them too.

Huckleberry Mountain Horse is a 40-mile loop near Paris, Arkansas. It is a great ride with some really fast descents, but always be on the lookout for other riders. This trail can get a little crowded as it is also shared with hikers and equestrians as well. There are campsites nearby if you simply cant get enough. Make sure you get a good map of the area because not all trails and logging roads in the area are well-marked.

The Twin Turtles Trails near Fayetville, Arkansas are perfect for beginner and intermediate bikers. They are well groomed, with ramps that will get you some air. The trails are only 7 miles but you can ride them all day, it never feels repetitive. This place can, however, get really buggy, especially in the summer. Bring your glasses and goggles and have a great time.

If you like to get down and dirty, then White River Refuge in Clarendon is the trail for you! Logging roads have been turned into 10 miles of ATV trails. After a good rain, there is mud and sand to turn any trail into a challenge. The trails arent too crowded and are well-marked. Watch out for snakes in this area (cottonmouth and rattlesnakes in particular).

Lake Leatherwood near Eureka Springs has 20 miles of trails with 11 different trails for experienced riders. Expect some very steep ascents with challenging downhill sections full of switchbacks, roots, steps, and rocks. These trails can get very treacherous when wet, so avoid muddy areas. You never know what might be underneath! There is a variety of terrain and some fantastic scenery to keep your attention.

Little Rock, Arkansas has the Camp Joseph Robinson Trails. You need a CARP membership to ride hear because the trails are on a military base but it is worth the ten bucks. The membership is good for a year and the riding is absolutely excellent. These trails are groomed and well maintained, but watch out for the rocky climbs and fast downhills.

For the biker who just cant get enough, theres Heaven and Hell, near Crystal Springs. I think the name says it all! This 9-mile trail requires a great deal of stamina. There are extremely long climbs and you have to be cautious on the downhill sections because of all the rocks. You will want to bring hiking boots and GOBS of water (this area can get pretty hot in the summer)! Watch out for copperheads in this area as well. Your reward after conquering this one is to take a dip in a great little swimming hole down Crystal Springs Road. There is camping available there as well.

You probably don't know that Arkansas has fifty two state parks and three national forests. These area provide ample opportunity for bikers of all skill levels. Even if you never thought you would ever go the Arkansas, I recommend checking it out. You will not be disappointed.

By Allison Morin

For a long time we have used the video store as one of our main ways to access movies. The next generation it seems will be getting their movies from movie downloads, avoiding any trips to the store. You can get virtually any movie you want with a good movie download site. Here are some examples.

Deliver Us From Evil: Strong documentary juxtapose includes interviews with Dad Oliver O'Grady a pedophile whom leaders of the Catholic temple persistently guarded with first-individual story and some of big sufferers. Well-timed film abandons narration; as an alternative, its interviewees color a flashy image of corruption in a temple that looked the other way when O'Grady was moved to few variant parishes, where he proceeded carrying out his dishonest acts. Intriguing and expertly made, however perplexing to watch (101 minutes, 2006)

MGM's The Big Parade of Comedy: Fifty of the best megastars of all time appear in this collection, however too concisely. Cast includes Laurel and Hardy, Keaton, Gable, Robert BencWey, Jean Harlow, and Malion Davies, (90 minutes, 1964)

See Spot Run: A bumbling mailman and his could-be lady friend's child adopt a absconder mutt that turns out to be an FBI representative targeted for assassination by mobster Sorvino. Awkward dry comedy for babies has only a few ludicrous minutes and a core personality who's an idiot. This signifies the combined attempts of 5 authors! Cast includes David Arquette, Michael Oarke Duncan, Leslie Bibb, Paul Sorvino, Joe Viterelli, and Anthony Anderson. (94 minutes, 2001)

Law of the Lawless: War horse cast is chief interest here, with Robertson an ex-gunman turned magistrate. Cast includes Dale Robertson, Yvonne De Carlo, William Bendix, Bruce Cabot, Richard Arlen, and Kent Taylor. (88 minutes, 1964)

Magic Johnson

By Denise I Smithson

One of the greatest players to ever walk onto the court, "Magic" Johnson was born Earvin Johnson in Lansing, MI in 1959. Born into a large family of a GM worker, a school custodian and nine other children, Johnson discovered basketball early. Johnson has said that he used to walk to the store dribbling with one hand and dribbling with the other as he walked back.

It was while still in high school that Johnson acquired his famous nickname. A sportswriter covering a high school game felt that no other word could adequately describe Johnson's skill with the ball. Johnson wanted to stay near his family after high school, so he attended Michigan State also in East Lansing. Even on the Michigan State Spartans, he achieved some notoriety, with scores of up to 17 in a single game. With Johnson, the Spartans took a Big Ten conference title and racked up a 25-5 record! In his second year on the team, the Spartans took on Indiana State (then featuring Larry Bird) to won the national title in what was one of the most highly followed NCAA games of all time.

Johnson made the decision to go professional and entered into the 1979 draft. Johnson was quickly drafted by the LA Lakers. LA fans were eager to see this famed college player wear the Lakers uniform and he didn't disappoint them. While the NBA's Rookie if the year award went to Larry Bird that year, Magic Johnson did help the Lakers to win the NBA championship in his first season, achieving an impressive 60-22 record. The Lakers were unstoppable the next season as well, with Johnson becoming the first rookie to start in an All Star game since the late sixties.

As fans and sportswriters everywhere will tell you, in 1980, the NBA finals that featured the Lakers and Philly's 76ers showed a legend in the making when Johnson performance clinched the win in the sixth game of the series. In that game, he scored 42 points, 15, boards, 7 assists, and 3 steals. Again, he was the first and only rookie to ever win the Finals MVP Award. As Magic put it, "I just wanted to do whatever the (Lakers) needed to do to win. I was having fun." The following year, pro sports hit Johnson, when he missed 45 games with a torn knee cartilage.

Upon his recovery, the Lakers lost no time in regaining their glory, destroying all opposition to take the division title and once again defeated Philadelphia in the NBA finals; and Johnson won his second NBA finals MVP award.

In 1984, Johnson signed a $25 million contract with the Lakers. It was a good investment for the team, which captured three of the next four NBA titles. Johnson would also score a stunning 38 points in a game against Houston and an even more incredible 46 in a match-up with Sacramento in the 1986-1987 season. This season also saw Johnson's career-high scoring average of 23.9 points per game. Johnson would win the NBA's MVP award this season; an honor he would also receive in 1989 and 1990.

Johnson announced before the start of the 1991-1992 season that he had HIV and would be retiring. However, he didn't simply bow out. Johnson played in the 1991 All-Star game, where he received the MVP award. Johnson has kept extremely busy ever since both in and out of the sports world. He authored a book on safe sex, started companies and foundations, worked as a NBC sports commentator and even spent part of a season filling in as head coach for the Lakers! Johnson also played on the US Olympic Basketball "Dream Team" in 1992. Johnson also returned to the Lakers for part of a season in 1996; a fitting victory lap for this basketball legend.

In his 13 season NBA career, Magic Johnson achieved an astounding 17,707 points ( a 19.5 point per game average), 6,559 rebounds and 10,141 assists. This is in addition to his 1,724 steals (Johnson holds the record for ninth most steals in an NBA career). Johnson was also invited to the NBA 50th Anniversary All-Time team in 1997 and entered the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002. Johnson remains as modest as ever and continues to focus on his philanthropic work, but he is indisputably a living legend in the game of basket ball. As one of his fiercest rivals and greatest admirers, Larry Bird says of Johnson: Magic is head-and-shoulders above everybody else. I've never seen anybody as good as him.

Does The NHL Still Matter?

By Denise I Smithson

Hockey was once one of the four major American sports. The big four were the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League. But yet, even as some in those group dominate the others (the NFL dominates all sports in terms of popularity), the NHL has not been able to really keep up with the others.

In fact, hockey is not truly considered to be in that big four grouping any longer. Of course, a more accurate description of the sports climate might show that NASCAR and MMA have joined the NFL, NBA and MLB in that top tier. Hockey however is on the outside looking in, no longer enjoying the popularity it once did.

How did this happen to the NHL? Was it the entire season that was lost to the lockout that did this? No, that wasn't the reason, that lost year to the lockout was actually a symptom of the problem itself. The lockout was held because salaries were getting out of control and many franchises, outside of the most popular ones such as the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings, simply could not afford to keep paying as much to their players as they were.

As any fan who lives in a city with a NHL franchise knows, declining ticket sales aren't the cause of NHL franchises' slumping revenues; games continue to be well attended and eagerly looked forward to. The reason for the lower revenue has to do with broadcast rights, a significant source of income for the NHL. Hockey is simply less popular as a televised sport than it once was.

The lockout however certainly didn't help the situation. When hockey returned the next season they made a deal with the network known as OLN - now Versus - to broadcast their weekly national games. However that cable station reaches only a small fraction of the homes that the major networks reach. This means that hockey simply isn't viewable by a great deal of the population, leaving it in a spot where it can hardly increase its popularity.

Adding to this problem is the fact that hockey isn't the most captivating sport to watch on television. It is a fantastic sport to take in live. This helps explain why the sport is so popular in major metropolitan areas where there is a hockey team. These fans get to go to the games and take in the rabid culture. You can hear the turns and stops of the skating, you can feel the jarring checks as players hit the ice and fall into the boards. The speed and precise nature of the game comes out in a way that it simply cannot on television. Those people who never see a game in person therefore, may not even know what they are missing out on by not being a hockey fan.

Therefore the answer to the question is that no, hockey is no longer one of the major sports in this country. It has lost it's place in that upper echelon, and is struggling for a strategy to get back. It needs to find a way to make its television games more exciting, while also getting those games aired in a spot where more people can view them. Until both of those happen it may be hard for the NHL to regain the spotlight it once had.

Review Of The Human Touch 7120 Massage Chair Recliner

By Bart Berrafato

We will take an in depth look at the Human Touch HT 7450 Zero Gravity massage chair in this review. This is a state of the art massage recliner with many advanced features and the Human Touch patented massage system. We will describe some of special features of this chair and also touch on the warranty coverage. Let us take a look at this luxury massage chair from Human Touch.

First we want to point out that when looking for a massage chair, it is imperative to go with a reputable company with retail distribution. There are so many imported massage chairs, which offer very low prices and unfortunately the same quality to match. This only becomes evident down the road when you have a problem with the massage recliner. We have heard too many horror stories, so go with a top brand. Rest assured, Human Touch is one of the top American brands out on the market and has national distribution. You will be covered down the road.

First let us review the warranty coverage for this high end lounger. The protection you get with the HT-7450 is 5 years on the structure of the chair. You get 3 years parts, 1 year labor and 90 days in home service. This warranty coverage is pretty good. We would like to see the labor be extended out more, but this is much better than you find from most manufacturers for this price range. The customer service is through a call center and they are very competent and turn around times for parts or service are adequate for routine issues.

The HT-7450 is a zero gravity massage recliner. This means that both your knees are above your heart. This is the positioned used by NASA astronauts when being launched in a rocket. This position takes the pressure of your spine and evenly distributes it across your whole back. If you have back pain, then this position takes the pressure off which is very comfortable.

The recline function to the zero gravity position is highly engineered for ergonomics and that translates into comfort. For example, the armrests move independently of the chair back at the perfect ratio between the arms and the body. This ensures there is no stress or tension on the neck, shoulder or arms in the zero gravity position.

The seat of the HT7450 is also specially designed for getting you to the zero gravity position. The seat will actually tilt down as you recline the chair. This is designed to support the lumbar better over traditional chairs. By supporting the lumbar, the stress from your weight is better distributed than if it does not tilt down.

Now that you are in a comfortable zero gravity position while still on planet earth, what about the massage? This massage recliner comes with 8 pre-programmed massages, 8 pulsating seat massages, 4 manual massage techniques and the calf massager. There is also dual lumbar heating elements built into the massage recliner. There is even a voice response switch which repeats back your selection.

The automatic massage therapies are fairly well developed in the HT 7450. There is one named the Full Body Sore Muscle Relief massage. This massage starts with a warm up massage for the first three minutes. It the shifts into a high intensity massage for the next 9 minutes. This is to effectively penetrate and soothe sore muscles in the body. It then changes to a warm down treatment for the final 3 minutes.

This is a very well designed massage recliner. It also is a very attractive massage recliner and comes in top grain leather upholstery. It does have heaters in the back, so we are not sure of the durability of the leather over the long term. In any event, this massage recliner is a first class executive looking massage chair that will look good in virtually any room in the house. If you are looking for a comprehensive massage lounger in the luxury range, then the HT-7450 is definitely a serious contender for your attention.

So You Want To Watch Movies Online?

By Leta Jenkins

People are always searching for ways to make their lives easier over the internet. One thing they can do is watch movies online.

Now, all you have to do is know what sites to look at and you'll have a wide variety of movies to choose from right at home.

You can either download the movie to your computer or watch it streaming, depending on what site you're using. Regardless, though, you'll be happy not only with the time but also with the money you save. The only thing that sometimes seems more expensive than renting a movie is seeing it in a theater, but now even new releases are very affordable.

People who live outside the US have often gotten used to not being able to enjoy things only available in the country, but now this is no longer a concern.

If you're looking for a certain type of movie, you can do a web search and will likely bring up all sorts of results by the title, actor, or the genre of movie you want to watch.

You can also view movies and TV shows from other countries. In fact, you could even watch broadcasts from all across the world, thanks to what is known as satellite television for PC.

You might be concerned with getting bad links with all these options, but they're very rarely a concern.

Obviously, if you're going to be watching movies online, it's very important that you're doing so legally, and here you'll have lots of options. You can watch all sorts of things in very high quality without risking your computer or breaking the way. You can even watch them off the computer on a television or projector with the right equipment.

The range of things available online goes from those old movies that have largely been forgotten except by dedicated fans and that can only be accessed through the internet, to new programming that people aren't able or don't want to watch on the TV.

With the amount of time we already spend on the internet, this and accessing anything we want online is easier than ever before.

Old movies aren't the only thing you can find that you normally wouldn't be able to. If you have satellite TV for PC, you can get all those stations you weren't able to see in the past, some of which are even offered only online. There's a whole set of programs you might not have been able to watch for various reasons. Now you're no longer held back.

Whatever might have been holding you back from going online for your movie and television needs, it's time to let that go. It's fast, cheap, and fun, and soon you'll never want to go to a theater or movie store again. After all, the options are basically limitless. You won't have time to watch everything you want once you see what's out there.

It's Showtime in Las Vegas!

By Kyle Chapman

People are always asking me about shows in Las Vegas. "Which ones are the best?" My answer is always, go see for yourself! Seriously, shows are a big part of what makes Las Vegas well, Las Vegas. Everyone should experience at least one Vegas show. So here is a little guide that will help you determine which shows you will like the best.

The Blue Man Group at the Venetian is one of the most popular shows in Las Vegas. They use unique theatrics, comedy, and music to provide a memorable night. The stars of the show are actually painted blue, and they act like they are from another planet. They communicate using only body language. The way they interact with the audience and each other is wonderful, and completely hilarious! This really is one of the best shows in Las Vegas, and it's something that everyone should see at least once.

Cirque du Soleil is a company known for their acrobatics and musical entertainment. They have numerous shows around town, all of which have a different theme. They are located at Treasure Island, Bellagio, New York-New York, MGM Grand, Mirage, and Luxor. The performers in these shows are amazing, and it is worth it to check out at least one of the shows.

Las Vegas is a popular stop for some of the most famous comedians in the world. Jerry Seinfeld can be found at Caesars Palace, and his act is very good. His comedy is also clean enough for the whole family. Brad Garrett and Ron White often perform at the Mirage. Both of them are great, but expect them to be a little dirtier than Seinfeld. Garrett uses a style where he picks on members of the audience and cracks jokes about them. White uses a style very similar to his Comedy Central routines, but expect some newer material. You can't go wrong with any of these comedians.

There are still some adult themed topless shows in Las Vegas, and two of them really stand out. Fantasy at the Luxor is a newer style Las Vegas showgirl routine. The girls play out common male fantasies. The show incorporates music and some comedy, and it really is great. Jubilee! is located in Bally's, and is more of a traditional showgirl routine. The show has flashy outfits, music and dance. The final product really is quite good, and worth checking out.

If you like magic, it's a good thing because two of the best perform regularly in Las Vegas. Lance Burton's show is at Monte Carlo, and David Copperfield's show is at MGM Grand. These are some of the best in the business, and their acts are truly amazing. You can't go wrong seeing either.

Hypnosis acts are a nice change of pace. In these acts, the hypnotists take a few people from the audience and take them on stage to be hypnotized. They almost always have them do acts that they would never do in front of a group of strangers, and the results are normally quite funny. Anthony Cools' show is at Paris, and Marc Savard's show is at Planet Hollywood. Both of these are good choices.

There are enough shows in Las Vegas to satisfy people with all types of different tastes. It just depends on what you feel like seeing on any particular night. No other place has as much talent and variety, so you should take advantage of it and see a show or two. Trust me, when your trip is over you'll be glad that you did!

All About No Deposit Casino

By Anand Maheshwari

It is being found that the concept of no deposit casino bonus is misleading people increasingly and common professional bonus hunters and punters are among the sufferers. What can be the basic problem with no deposit casino bonus then? As per experts, the offer of no deposit happens to be a mere form of advertising that speak out in the language, "You can have this money given that you try our casino games, if you lose the money don't worry as it's a gift from us to you". It also indicates a hidden message, "Here's a $100 chip for staying at our hotel".

Are you getting the point? As indicated by studies, there are, if truth be told, three different forms of no deposit casino bonuses. These include free spins (e.g. 100 free spins on the fruit machine slots), free money (e.g. $10 to play our casino games), and free money with a time constraint (e.g. play with $500 for 1 hour). What leads to the confusion then? It occurs when players, for the sake of earning money, take these offers granted and without reading the "terms and conditions." The formidable presence of terms and conditions indicate that there is a limit to how much one can win and it is in the region of $200. The other term that should be focused always is the "deposit to claim you winnings" condition. This means that a person, if he/she wins $200, will have to deposit an amount before the sum of $200 is claimed.

Why is this done? The main objective is to prevent the professional bonus hunters from making the most of the no deposit casino bonus system. On the other hand, the third term that should be concentrated is the play through requirements. This point toward how much the player need to wager before his/her bonus has been cleared. This is similar to the play through requirements for the regular Casino Bonus.

What should you do to collect the no deposit casino bonus? You have to click on the casino you want to play at, followed by the opening of new player real money account. The next steps include downloading of the casino (if there is any necessity), visit to the cashier and entering the associated bonus code in the section marked "enter bonus code" or "enter promo code" or "redeem coupon". Keep in mind that no deposit casino bonus is credited to the player's account immediately and hence you don't have to worry.

Well, some more conditions have to be satisfied before the withdrawal of no deposit casino bonus. There is no need of any deposit or credit card information to collect a no deposit bonus. Take for instance you have become able to collect on a $50 free chip bonus. You can use the bonus money in the form of real money while betting. But you have to gratify several stipulations of casino's play through so as to cash it out.

There may be differences between rules and regulations of online casinos (a great possibility is there). So you are advised to check casino's policy and bonus rules regarding collecting multiple bonuses.

Benefits of Cheap 50cc Motor Scooters

By Steven Michael Mihajlov

Finding A Cheap 50cc moped scooter is easy and beneficial for many. Besides the obvious gas savings a motor scooter provides, you might be pleasantly surprised with the many benefits of owning a scooter. Moped scooters come in a variety of styles and sizes and are a great alternative to getting around town and doing errands quickly.

One benefit is that moped scooters are very easy to use. They tend to be quite similar to motorcycles; however, unlike a motorcycle the engine of the moped scooter is located below the seat and above the rear axle. The scooter is also significantly lighter than a motorcycle and the step through frame creates a feature where riders can rest their feet on a platform or footrest instead of pedals. Unlike the motorcycle, there are no shifting gears, making it easy even for kids to operate.

Scooters are very popular around the world because they are so economical. This benefits many today due to our challenging economic times. The cost of owning a motor scooter depends on many factors. Size, style, quality provides the price differences. You can find quality beginning models around $1000.

With the rising gas prices, it is quite challenging to meet other expenses. Moped scooters will save hundreds or perhaps thousands annually in fuel expenses. Most scooters will get over 80mpg compare to your typical car getting less than 20 mpg.

Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved moped scooters to use on roads. This is a nice benefit since now motor scooters can be driven on the street. With the Dot and EPA approval, mopeds are street legal and meet their strict standards in all 50 states. However, since many scooters can not travel fast, it is a good idea to stay off the interstate or highway.

Saving time and money, and enjoying your ride around town are just a sample of the benefits of owning motor scooter Become the envy of your friends and check out the new craze in traveling, scootering.

Studying Skateboarding Tricks.

By Todd Martin

You must have seen all the tricks, stunts and maneuvers that world famous skateboarders for instance Tony Hawk have pulled off over the years, and so, you've now made up your mind that you want to be a skateboarder yourself. Well done! Not only is skateboarding entertaining and a better way to stay in shape (in reality, it is), although, should you become good enough and gifted enough, you can really make a nice and profitable living as an expert street or trick skateboarder. Now think about when you fill out an application form for a credit card, and you come to the box where it asks for your profession - and you write in expert skateboarder. That sounds really cool, right?

Now, before you embark on your skateboarding career, there are probably a few things that you should know about skateboards and the skateboard culture itself. Even though it's only been around for approximately sixty years (give or take a few), skateboarding has simply exploded from an underground activity into a mainstream pop-culture phenomenon. Terms such as trucks, grip tape, decks, wheels and more are now understood by people who aren't necessarily heavily into the activity of skateboarding. For the most part, people who skateboard are a fun-loving, easy-going sort who simply love life and don't take themselves too seriously - even though they take skateboarding very seriously.

In its plain and most primitive form, skateboarding is not more than riding or pulling off stunts on a skateboard. On the other hand, as with a lot of other things in life, there is a lot more to skateboarding than just standing on a deck and rolling along the street. Skateboarding needs a great amount of talent, strength and balance. Without having tough physical features, you won't be able to skateboard for a great distance or for a great amount of time. In that sense, skateboarding is a lot like riding a bike - it's all regarding practice, practice and more practice. You have to learn to twist and shift your body weight, how to stop, gather speed, and spin and more. Keep in mind; no one picks up anything on the first attempt, so it'll take some time before you truly are able to master the skateboard. However, with a little practice and lots of patience, you'll be able to do it!

Another thing to remember about skateboarding is that the world really is your canvas. If you're talented, skilled and daring enough, you and your skateboard can literally go anywhere and do anything. From navigating busy city streets to grinding down rails to everywhere in between, a top skateboarder never looks at anything in his or her way as a barrier. Rather, they look at obstacles as opportunities to expand their own limits and skills. And, over a period of time, you can too! The great thing about skateboarding is that, it doesn't really matter if you're young or old. If you have a passion for trying and learning as much as you can about it, then you'll soon be able to - at the very least - attempt all the tricks and moves that your favorite skateboarders perform on a regular basis.

Since skate boarding is becoming one of the most popular sports in the world, there are numbers of manufacturers that produce skateboard decks, such as Sec9 Channel 9, Plan B skateboard decks, Zoo York skateboard decks etc. You can find professional skateboard decks in goskateorgohome.com which is an online skateboards and accessories supplier providing many brands of complete skateboards like Barfoot Takayama and accessories.

Legal Movie Downloads And Reviews

By Cory Ferguson

For years now, the video store was the way to get movies. Instead of buying or renting the dvd, people now can choose a movie download instead. Let's look at what you might find to watch using a movie download site.

The Littlest Outlaw: Humble little Disney film in reference to "Mexican boy" Velasquez who runs away with a horse instead of see it slaughtered for its crimes; filmed on location. Cast includes Pedro Armendariz, Joseph Calleia, Rodolfo Acosta, Andres Velasquez, and Pepe Ortiz. (75 minutes, 1955)

Prospero's Books: At first challenging although unsatisfactory adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest, with most of the discussion mentioned by 87-year-old Gielgud (in the role of Prospero); the other performers are little more than an add on, and there's a mindboggling portion of nudity. Stuffed with shocking, layered imagery, attractive production layout and cinematography, which tend to reduce the impact of the discussion. Pleasure can rely on your patience for Greenaway's approach to the material. Cast includes John Gielgud, Michael Clark, Michel Blanc, Isabelle Pasco, and Tom Bell. (129 minutes, 1991)

The Deep End: A committed mom of 3 imagines her adolescent child might be implicated of slaughtering his gay lover, so she covers up the offense although that's just the beginning of her complications. Enthralling thriller with astonishing twirls and nuanced personality advancement, however a tad cold. Interestingly set and shot in Pond Tahoe, with a brilliant behavior by Swinton. Cast includes Tilda Swinton, Goran Visnjic, Jonathan Tucker, Josh Lucas, Peter Donat, and Raymond Barry. (99 minutes, 2001)

King of Kings: The life of Christ is intelligently informing and beautifully filmed. The film is full of extremely moving scenes, like the Lecture on the Mount and Christ's mending of the lame, as well as numerous others. Cast includes Jeffrey Hunter, Siobhan McKenna, Robert Ryan, Hurd Hatfield, Viveca Lindfors, Rita Gam, and Rip Torn. (168 minutes, 1961)

Edward: Trenchant if unnecessarily vicious adaptation of the Christopher Marlowe play, written in 1592, in reference to the demise of the frankly gay British queen who denies his empress for a man lover. Regardless of 14th century setting, some characters wear modern-day clothes, and film works relatively well as a condemnation of 20th century gay-slamming. Not for all tastes, however by no means boring. Lennox, previously of the Eurythmics, appears in one scene harmonizing Cole Porter's "Every Time We Affirm Farewell. Cast includes Steven Waddington, Kevin Collins, Andrew Tieman, John Lynch, Dudley Sutton, Tilda Swinton, Nigel Terry, and Annie Lennox. (91 minutes, 1991)

After Dark My Sweet: A modern times film noir based on a Jim Thompson novel, that finds a drifter who finds himself involved with an attractive however disturbed lady, and her shyster buddy. Fascinating initially, although eventually you catch on that it's heading nowhere at 10 miles an hour. Cast includes Jason Patrie, Rachel Ward, Bruce Dem, George Dickerson, James Yarn, Rough Giordani, and Corey Carrier. (114 minutes, 1990)

Lunch Wagon Girls: Ball turns investigator in this melodrama, confronts weird characters and harrowing experiences when tracking killer; pretty excellent, with top cast. Cast includes Lucille Ball, Charles Coburn, Alan Mowbray, Cedric Hardwicke, Boris Karloff, and George Zucco. (95 minutes, 1968)

Heart and Souls: 4 distinct San Franciscans die in a bus mishap in 1959, and find that they are inexorably connected with a infant who has been born at that same precise minute. What's more, only he might see and hear them. This is an awesome showcase for Downey whose body is inhabited, at assorted times, by his heavenly friends. Fans of slushy, emotional, old-styled Hollywood fantasies should like this movie, others take heed. Cast includes Robert Downey, Jr., Charles Grodin, Alfre Woodard, Kyra Sedgwick, Tom Sizemore, David Paymer, Elisabeth Shue, Eric Lloyd, and Bill Calvert. (104 minutes, 1993)

I Am Legend: Scientist Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the only man living in New York City who isn't infected. Everyone infected has become a mutated viscous creature. The sunlight is Robert's only safety, as he roams the city, and runs experiments at his lab, hoping to cure everyone of the infection. How long can he survive?

Some Important Information About HO Scale

By Ferdinand Emy

HO scale trains are the most famous and known sort of trains in the world. They're sought after persons because of the perfect combine they give between attention to detail and size.

HO scale trains are considered medium sized model trains by most countries, except in Japan, where they are considered large model trains. In fact, Japan is a curious case when it comes to HO scale trains.

Due to the country's nature, Japans houses don't have as much room as their western counterparts. Therefore, due to their littleer size, N scale trains are more known in that country. N scale trains are similarly considered the norm, so they're taken as the standard for normal or medium size of trains. Since HO scale trains are tremendous than N scale trains, its just natural that they're considered large trains. In fact, Japan is the only country in the world where HO scale trains aren't the most popular model trains.

On the rest of the world, HO scale trains are considered the optimal. That is because they have several advantages over the other scales.

The first advantage is that they are big enough that they can be very detailed. Not only that, but also because little details are simple to see without a magnifying glass. In addition, working on those details is much easier than doing so in littleer scale trains.

In addition, they are big enough that they are safe for children to play with, as they are simpler to handle for their little hands. Smaller scales have parts that can be swallowed by small children, which isn't the case for HO scale trains.

HO scale trains are likewise preferred over larger trains because they allow for a more sophisticated track layout in a little space than larger trains.

HO scale trains likewise tend to be cheaper than other scales. They are cheaper than littleer scales because the process to produce them isn't as demanding as the procedure of littleer scales. On the other hand, they are also cheaper than larger scales because they require less material.

In addition, because they have a large|great demand than other types of train, HO scale trains benefit from economies of scale that result from a large production. This likewise tends to lower prices.

Just as a conclusion, if you did not know it already, HO scale trains are built at a scale of 1:87. Since this scale is almost half the O scale, the scale has named HALF O, which then was shortened to HO.

What is Market Sentiment (Part III)?

By Ahmad Hassam

Besides the interest rates, economic growth of countries can also have a big impact on the overall currency market sentiment. United States is the largest economy in the world. US economy is the key factor in determining the global currency market sentiment especially for the major currency pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, CHF/USD and JPY/USD.

A strong economic expansion coupled with a healthy labor market tends to boost consumer spending in the country. This helps in selling the stuff produced by the local companies and businesses.

A country with a strong economy is in a better position to attract foreign investors. Foreign investment flowing into the country increases the demand for that currency. This increased demand causes that currency to appreciate against other currencies.

Some of the most important indicators of a country economic growth are: 1) Gross Domestic Product, 2) The unemployment rate and 3) The trade balance. Lets discuss these three economic indicators.

GDP: GDP measures the total good and services that are produced in a particular country in a one year. Actually we will be usually talking about the GDP growth rate whether the economy is expanding or contracting. A healthy GDP growth rate figure usually adds a bullish sentiment to the currency of that country especially if it exceeds the market expectations. Always remember the markets react violently to surprises.

Unemployment Rate: A low unemployment rate is considered to be a positive for the countrys economy and its currency. A low unemployment rate means almost all the consumers have jobs and they are willing to spend more. The more the consumer spends, the more the companies and businesses in the country sell. This generates more output and further expands the economy. The unemployment rate data reports the state of the labor market in the country. The opposite is true for a high unemployment rate. High unemployment means the economy is in recession and many people are without jobs just like the present. Under such conditions, consumer spending decreases. Companies and businesses start laying off more workers and in extreme case go bankrupt when they cant sell their stuff in the markets.

Trade Balance: This is another widely watched economic indicator in fundamental analysis. If a country exports more than it imports, the trade balance is in surplus. If the imports are more than the exports, the country will end up with a trade deficit. Trade deficits are not good and must be balanced by the capital account surplus otherwise a balance of payment problem will ensue.

Suppose US import more from Europe. US Dollar will have to be sold in order to buy Euros to pay for those imports. This selling pressure on US Dollar will result in the depreciation of the US Dollar relative to the Euro and other currencies. The opposite is true in case of a trade surplus. US Dollar will strengthen and appreciate relative to Euro if US exports more to Europe as compared to its imports.

Geopolitical risk is also very important. It refers to the risk of a countrys foreign or domestic policy affecting domestic social and political stability in another country or the region. Geopolitical risk can cause the currency of a country to move up or down relative to other currencies in short as well as long term.

Product Review Of The Human Touch HT-7120 Massage Chair

By Bart Brewster

We are going to take a in depth look at the HT-7120 massage chair recliner. The HT 7120 is made by the Human Touch Company. They are based out of Long Beach, CA. We are going to look at the best features and functions of this luxury lounger. We will also touch on the warranty coverage. Here is our review of the HT-7120 massage chair recliner.

We are first always concerned with the warranty of massage chairs. These are big ticket items and you want to be sure that you have adequate protection from the possibility of problems down the road. We always advise buying your chair from the top manufacturers because there are many cheap imports that promise the world and then just do not deliver. Human Touch is one of the best companies in the industry and has national distribution.

What is the warranty coverage of the HT 7120? Human Touch covers this model with 3 years on the structure of the chair. They cover parts for 1 year and you get 90 days labor. Human Touch offers in home technician service, but this comes at additional expense. Honestly, the warranty for this model is quite short when compared with others in this category. We are somewhat surprised with the coverage of this model, since our experience is it is fairly problem-free. On the customer service side, they are competent and turn around on issues if relatively quick.

One of the more famous features from Human Touch is the flipping leg rest. The leg rest has a flat side and a calf massager side. You can actually flip the leg rest to use the calf massager and then flip it back to hide the calf massager. This innovative and patented feature helps to hide the fact that your recliner is actually a massage chair. This enables you greater flexibility in where you can place the massage chair in your home.

This recliner comes with a full body stretch mode. The airbags in the leg rest ottoman will energize to squeeze the legs to hold them. The chair back will then start to slowly recline. As the chair back reclines, it will gently stretch out the body. This body stretch will bring more blood flow to the spine as it decompresses and rejuvenates your back.

Can you take some heat? The HT-7120 comes equipped with dual lumbar heat. These heating elements are precisely positioned to focus on the lower back to relieve aches, pains and swelling. If you have discomfort in the lumbar area, then let the HT 7120 heat your up and then massage you down.

Let us talk about the massage therapy of the HT-7120 massage chair recliner. The HT7120 comes with a 15 automatic massage which is adjustable for the upper back, lower back or full back. You can also adjust the comfort control to 7 different levels of intensity. You will also find 4 manual massage treatments. These manual treatments include rolling, compression, kneading and percussion. You have quite a few options to really target the areas in most need of attention.

The HT-7120 is a well designed and attractive massage chair recliner. It has an executive look to it. The oval base makes an attractive platform for this contemporary massage chair. We like the massage therapy of this chair, but would like to see better warranty coverage from Human Touch. We do like the fact that this massage recliner will compliment any room in your house. This is a solid massage chair and one worth investigating further.

NCAA Football 10 - Review

By Carl Ferguson

College football is something that nearly everyone enjoys. The sound of helmets crushing together. The crowd roaring and the band playing. The atmosphere just sends chills down the spine of every football fan. While there is no replacement for the real thing, NCAA Football 10 comes pretty darn close. The franchise has never been better and there are a lot of new features to check out. Why would you want to get the latest installment of NCAA Football 10? Let's look at the details.

First of all, one of the best things about NCAA Football 10 is that a lot of things remained the same. You're still going to get a very realistic football simulation. In fact, it's probably the most realistic thing you've ever seen. With the power of the next generation consoles, this franchise just gets more realistic every year.

Just as is to be expected, this year's version incorporates numerous new features but of course, just as in previous years, you can still play against other people online. In fact, the game now includes a mode known as "Season Showdown" in which you get to play fore your favorite school. To start with; you get to choose one school to which you would like to play and of course, the more you play and win, the more points you end up getting for your school. In addition to trivia games, there are also a number of other interactive games you can play in order to win points. When you get to the end of the year, the school with the most points is awarded the Season Showdown National Championship. Of course, as you can imagine, this is an ideal way for you to interact with a number of other players, not to mention the fact that you get to cheer your school on.

Undeniably, one of the best features of the game remain the "Dynasty" mode because essentially, with this version you can actually go on further in that you can create your very own school. This in turn allows you to put your stand on everything to do with your program in that you get to design the school's logo, pick the fight song, name the school, and also create your own team. In fact, you're even enabled to customize players to play on your team.

Of course it goes without saying that the actual game play is still unbeatable. Those who have become accustomed to playing Madden will immediately notice that this affords you the opportunity to play a different type of football. Being able to run the option is a great feature which of course is not available in an NFL game.

The game planning feature is extremely cool as well. This allows you to put emphasis on certain aspects of the game. If you're having trouble running the ball, put more emphasis on opening up the running lanes. However, you should know that this will increase the amount of holding calls that you get.

Perhaps the most welcome addition to the game is the new "play calling" mode which allows you to keep your opponents guessing and as such, you have an opportunity to catch them with their guards down.

Overall, there's just nothing out there quite like NCAA Football 10. It is unmatched in the gaming industry and it is the leader in the field for a reason. Check out the game today and immerse yourself in college football again.

Surfboards for Beginners: Which to Choose

By Melinda Paradise

There are lots of different sizes and shapes of surfboards, almost all of which can be boiled down into 3 main classes. The type of board you select will dictate how you are going to catch a wave, and thus should be selected primarily based on your experience level and the dimensions of the waves you will be riding.

For newbies, often the 1st stop is the longboard ( seven to twelve feet ). One of the longboards commonly utilized by noobs is a soft-foam construction, vs fiberglass or epoxy. This increases buoyancy helping the surfer catch their first waves. Longboards are usually good for smaller waves and their volume permits surfers to ride these waves much longer.

The next style is a fun shape, or often called a fun board or a fun stick (7 to 9 feet). This board combines the stability of a larger long board with the maneuverability of a smaller shape, and is often used by beginner to intermediate surfers on all types of waves.

Short boards ( five to seven feet ) are the most maneuverable of all board types, but are also the toughest to ride and thus are sometimes reserved for intermediate to expert surfers. They are quicker, less stable and offer surfers more control over how they need to move in the wave.

There aren't any rules that say you have to learn on a longboard. There are some surfers who begin with a shortboard and master it. However, the general public begin with the longboard and learn quicker that way as the thickness permits you to float more and gives you more stability. A shortboard is harder to paddle and you may have more issues catching waves as it is tough to catch a wave early with a shortboard. A longboard will allow you to catch waves and stand up easier.

If you do begin with the shortboard, try to not go with something too tiny or thin. You also need to make certain the board is wide enough to hover you. There are some good intermediate length boards that you can learn on,eg fun shapes and other hybrids. But in order to turn with extra speed, you can want something that is not as wide.
