By Cory Vang

Whenever a Hollywood movie is released the objective is to create a film that the public loves and that will become a smash hit. Take a remarkable story, throw in a few remarkable stars along with some special effects and voila', a huge box office success. But it does not always work that way. Sometimes a motion picture will include everything that you think might make it a success and it still fails at the box office. There is no such thing as a sure thing in Hollywood.

Bug - film rendition of Tracy Letts' play is tough to take critically however not without a twist or two if you could acknowledge it as a stunt. This is simply bug versus man. Cast includes Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon, Harry Connick, Jr., Lynn Collins, and Brian F. O'Byrne. (101 minutes, 2007)

Kimberley Jim - Little musical of 2 untroubled gamblers who win a fortune in a fixed poker game, and then have a change of heart. Cast includes Jim Reeves, Madeleine Guide, Clive Pamell, Arthur Swemmer, and Mike Holt. (82 minutes,'65)

The Last Seduction - Pathologically malevolent and stunningly sensual woman ditches her spouse, pillages the cash he's made in a drug deal, and escapes N.Y.C. to a tiny upstate town where she attracts and bewilders a local gentleman who becomes her latest patsy. Fiorentino's spicy femme fatale makes Stanwyck in Triple Indemnity look like Snow White! The movie is a scorching, seductive thriller from contemporary film noir master Dahl and author Steve Barancik. Cast includes Linda Fiorentino, Peter Berg, J. T. Walsh, Bill Nunn, Bill Pullman, Michael Raysses, and Zach Phifer. (110 minutes,'94)

Fantasies - Sloppy nonsense in regards to Derek's and Hooten's attempts to turn a Greek island into a tourist trap. Shot in'73, while Bo was sixteen. Cast includes Bo Derek, Peter Hooten, Anna Alexiadis, Phaedon Gheorghitis, and Therese Bohlin. (81 minutes,'81)

Unearth 5 Good Film Commentary For You To Pick From

By Loyd Zamora

Did you know that you can download movies completely for free? Nevertheless, there are harms with downloading movies for free. Most of them are bootleg, which means that they are being offered unlawfully. This is a infringement of copyright laws and you risk prosecution. There are extremely few movies that are in the public domain because copyright laws have been so widespread since the technology for motion pictures came around.

Rich and Strange - Kendall and Barry, an discontentedly married couple, are presented money and trip around the world; he has an event with a "princess," when she gets to be romantically emotionally involved to an explorer. Cast includes Henry Kendall, Joan Barry, Betty Amann, Percy Marmont, and Elsie Randolph. (83 minutes,'32)

Good Times - Back while the harmonizing duo was still thought to be crazy, they made this entertaining little film, with Sonny daydreaming about their possible film roles and he and Cher harmonizing "I Got You Babe." Cast includes Sonny and Cher, George Sanders, Norman Alden, and Larry Duran. (91 minutes,'67)

Sexy Beast - A retired British mobster, living the life in Spain, is visited by a ferocious gangster who desires him to work one more heist. Trendy, aggressive, current day gangster's film has brilliant acting containing a special performance by Kingsley as the spiteful perpetrator. Cast includes Ray Winstune, Ben Kingsley, Ian McShane, Cavan Kendall, Julianne White, Alvaro Monje, and James Fox. (88 minutes, 2001)

Jack of Diamonds - Hamilton plays a cat burglar who pillages gems from Baker, Gabor, and Palmer, who are "special guests" in this film. Bypass this one and wait for "To Catch a Robber" to be shown. Cast includes George Hamilton, Joseph Cotten, Marie Laforet, Maurice Evans, Carroll Baker, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Lilli Palmer. (67 minutes,'67)

Fantasies - Amateurish gibberish in regards to Derek's and Hooten's attempts to turn a Greek island into a tourist trap. Shot in'73, while Bo was sixteen. Cast includes Bo Derek, Peter Hooten, Anna Alexiadis, Phaedon Gheorghitis, and Therese Bohlin. (81 minutes,'81)

Another point you need to realize is that the services are creating a profit somehow. If they are truly giving the motion pictures entirely for free, then they are most likely adding spyware or adware along with the at no cost motion picture so that they can make some money.

Football Games on the iPhone - Who Rules the Arena?

By Eric Meister

Football season is here and iPhone gamers are scouring the App Store for the best NFL video games available for their device. Three of the best apps in this genre are included in our round this week. The titles which made the cut are EA's Madden 10, Gameloft's NFL2010, and Chillingo's Super Shock Football.

Madden has been dominating the football game market for the past 20 years. EA Games has now released the first version of Madden for the iPhone into the App Store. Now there is quite a rivalry between Madden 10 and NFL2010 and gamers face a tough decision.

From a visual standpoint, Madden delivers, but not exactly with the precision we had hoped for. Everything looks a bit old-school like the graphics of consoles of days gone by. Yet, for the iPhone they look standard. You'll quickly recognize that the original John Madden comments and helmet-to-helmet crash audio effects are all included in this iPhone version of the game. If you don't like the included music tracks, you can play your own selection from your iPod library. All the controls in Madden 10 work great and a variety of options are available on demand.

We're looking forward to multiplayer and roster updates coming in a future software update. As it is, replay ability is exceptional. This IS a Madden football game. Expect to be engulfed in it until the next one is released. Gameloft's NFL2010 is right up there with Madden yet each offers a few things the other lacks. So, go ahead and buy both if you can pull it off. At $9.99, Madden enters the App Store at an expected price point and should stay there for the entire season. As anticipated, Madden 10 brings a 4-Star experience to the table and shoves its closest rival NFL2010 into OT.

The first full-featured football game in the App Store was NFL2010 by Gameloft. In relation to Madden 10, NFL2010 looks on-par and, of course, we need to do a comparison. Happily, NFL2010 holds up quite well against its 20-year-old competition and mobile gamers will love it through and through.

Graphically, the game looks gorgeous. This is the closest thing to Madden that we've seen. Sounds are good, with all of the expected football sound effects. Controls work well and are responsive. It just seems that it is lacking some of the functionality necessary to make us feel as if we have control over the plays. Often, it feels like we are simply watching them unfold as we've set them up. In fact, the plays where we felt like we had the most control were kicking plays, which utilize two gauges, one for aiming and one for power. This scheme works especially well.

If this is the first effort Gameloft has made with iPhone football gaming, we'd say NFL2010 is a glimpse of absolute success. We won't be putting down this title any time soon. When viewed in relation to Madden 10 and pricey console football games, the $7.99 price tag is cheap. A 4-Star rating is awarded this smash-hit title that impressed us through and through.

Chillingo has taken a different approach with Super Shock Football by basing it on the electric football gaming style. It won't replace Madden 10 or NFL2010, but it does present some coolness with vibrating players and other additions that justify it as a worthy contender.

Super Shock Football is a visual masterpiece - we loved the 2D players all zigzagging around the 3D environment. The game presents a top-down view when setting up your players but then it rotates to an on-field angle for play watching. Audio effects are very enjoyable as you can hear the little men humming as they vibrate around the field. Crowd noise and whistling add to the entire effect of being in a virtual stadium. Every game control mechanism can be accomplished with a single finger. At the bottom of the screen you'll see the usual stats like scores, time remaining, etc. These are a tad difficult to read, but they are not distracting from the game itself. A few options can be set like length of the quarter, and the number of players on each team.

Clearly, there are other games available for a more authentic football experience, but Super Shock Football is in a league of its own for nostalgia and humorous gameplay. If you don't take this game too seriously, it is an absolute blast. Replay value is very high, as anything can happen and the eventual outcomes are so random that no two games will be anywhere close to the same. Chillingo has priced Super Shock Football at $1.99 for a limited time, a very fair price for an enjoyable experience. Super Shock Football is worthy of a 5-Dimple touchdown dance.

We can't believe how far iPhone and iPod touch gaming have come in just a little over a year. When we decided to take a look at these NFL video games for review, we were surprised at how well they all performed. With Madden 10, NFL2010, and Super Shock Football, players clearly have some of the best apps to get their football fix.

Montana Softub Has the Green, Greener, Greenest Hot Tub

By Rebecca Montana

It might be obvious to many that the Hot Tub industry has not really been thought of as a GREEN industry before. The major reason being that most hot tub companies spray fiberglass and resins, use plastics and steel without much regard for the environment, except to follow EPA guidelines and call it a hot tub. Times have changed now and the "The California Energy Commission (CEC)" decided to set the trend. They created some of the most rigid standards in the USA that monitors energy efficiency. CEC recently revised a bill called "title 20", which sets a standard amount of allowable energy used by a portable spa/hot tub. The amount of allowable energy per the new guidelines, was not met by 65% of hot tub manufacturers. These hot tubs failed an independent study done by California Polytechnic State University. Softub, a 20 year old company, was the only manufacturer to pass these new guidelines without having to make any changes to its manufacturing process.

There are now some hot tubs that comply with these new regulations or have since complied with manufacturing changes, Softub is a first in the Hot Tub Industry considering its unique design, function and in its green industry standards that have been a part of the "Green Movement", since its inception. Many states are now adopting the CEC standards and implementing these energy requirements.

Softub is a soft sided hot tub. After all is your coach acrylic? No, so why sit in a hard hot tub either and call it relaxing. Softub's are soft, like sitting in your lounge chair and just as relaxing. The company was formed in'85 and has grown to become one of the leading spa manufacturers worldwide. Softub has only made minimal changes to the product over the years including our "patented ozone water sanitation system" and our "smart chip power monitoring system" . It is these technological advances that have been added to this green product to make it the most energy efficient hot tub on the market. Below are some reasons that Softub has been a Green Leader in the hot tub industry:

1. Energy Efficiency is Softubs strong point - While the state of California was the first governing body to adopt energy efficiency guidelines for hot tubs. All Softub models have long operated well under the required baselines for the units. These guidelines are similar to fuel economy standards for automobiles so now all hot tubs sold in the state of California and soon other states as well, must meet a baseline energy usage level.

2. SmartChip Technology - The patented Softub Smartchip is able to recognize low power events, such as brown outs and will and shut off your tub before any damage occurs. Along with this is also programmed to have a patented energy efficiency system. When the Smartchip senses a voltage drop it will shut down the pump. It will continue to monitor the in-coming power and will automatically restart the spa when the voltage returns to a normal level. In the event of a power outage, Smartchip automatically resets at 100 degrees. The patented "Energy Efficiency Program" monitors the filtration system. If the system filtrates during standard heating cycles, the programmed filter cycles are by-passed to save energy. If adequate filtration does not occur during heat cycles, the automatic filter cycles occur. Thanks to the Softub Smartchip, you can run all electrical appliances normally, without fear of damaging your spa or other household appliances.

3. Softub Patented Ozone Water Oxidizing System - having sparkling clean water and using less chemicals has always been the challenge for the hot tub owner. With each Softub unit comes a built-in ozone system. In Softub's, ozone is distributed evenly through all jets. You will find that other spas will only utilize 1 jet as a delivery port. Softubs system then is the only method that controls ozone delivery throughout the entire body of water. Ozone is helpful because it attaches to dirty chlorine and oxidizes the contaminant and makes the chlorine new again, thus utilizing fewer chemicals and fewer dollars for chemical purchases.

In summary, Softub has many green aspects, but simplicity of operation, durability and true portability are its biggest assets. If you enjoy a good soak rather than the noise and splashing of 57 jets and waterfalls, Softub is your tub of choice. Most hot tubs require 220 v 50Amp service that can cost between $800 and $2200 dollars to install, they require special foundations costing from $400 to $800 and the bigger the tub, the more maintenance. Softub was designed around all the complaints of hot tub users and to this day, is the most advanced hot tub on the market for therapy and/or pleasure. Softub is also now considered to be the hot tub industries greenest tub.

Some other crops would only be made available when you reach level four. And if you wanted to get all of them, you must be able to reach level 37 which would make you unlock all 42 types of seeds.

Casino Games Are Either Solo Or Multiplayer

The casinos that are online today are patterned after the Las Vegas casinos. They are designed with plenty of sounds, a great selection of games, and flashy visual effects. You get to select either multiplayer or solo play with the casino games.

In a regular casino in Las Vegas usually has both multiplayer game like the poker and solo games like all the slot machines you always see in Vegas. You are able to choose for yourself how you play in the Internet casino. Many of the casino games are multiplayer while others offer a choice of solo play too.

Solo Casino Games

A good game for a single player is slots, offline or online. It is only the player against the machine.

With the casinos online, you have more option to play by yourself against just your computer. Blackjack is regularly played as a solo game. Several of the games that you can download through the casino sites online allow you to play a computer opponent.

The excitement of winning against different players if a big part of your enjoyment in the casino games. This is what makes the multiplayer versions for these casino games so much fun and popular.

Multiplayer Versions for the Casino Games

Many of the casino games are available to you to play in multiplayer versions. These allow you to converse with people that are also playing the game and you get to show your playing skill off too.

The online versions of the casino multiplayer games include a chat room of some sort. This chat option lets players verbally communicate with each other and makes the game feel more like a real casino. This makes your casino experience more realistic, and can help you judge the skills of other players even though you can't actually see them. You can even go interactive on a game like slots with this feature of the chat room.

There are many types of multiplayer games available for casino games. From blackjack to poker to bingo, the multiplayer choices are available so that you can converse with other people.

Multiplayer vs. Solo Casino Games

Multiplayer games take your online playing experience to new heights. You can enjoy the other people and even create some new friendships playing these games. The online games have more depth because of this.

Internet gaming is enjoyable and easy to do, but part of the casino flavor is lost if you only do solo games. These games are fast and convenient to play, but they lack the excitement of the multiplayer games with the interaction with people.

You may have a wait on a room for the multiplayer games. A great many of the casino sites have numerous game rooms for you to play though, so the wait usually in not that long, if you have to wait that is. This is only a slight inconvenience however, because having the interaction with other people make the games much more thrilling to do multiplayer style.

A Selection Of Quality Motion Picture Reviews To See

By Sam Juarez

With a shop near every neighborhood, video stores have been the most convenient way to get movies for years. These days you can stay at home and get movies from a movie download site. Let's look at what you might find to watch using a movie download site.

Flubber: Absent-minded professor Phillip Brainard is working on a revolutionary discovery. When he finally succeeds, the world is introduced to and incredible gooey substance called Flubber. When applied to almost anything, the effect is to massively increase the rebounding qualities of the object, seemingly defying gravity.

Independence Day: One day things seem perfectly normal, the next the future of the entire planet is at stake. Know we know for certain that we are not alone in the universe. The question to be answered is can we defend ourselves from this ominous threat?

Belizaire the Cajun: Assante is well cast as a charismatic drug dealer in love with a Cajun woman who is the spouse of a prosperous Englishman. This is a choppy and somehow unsurprising drama in reference to the English prejudice and brutality toward the Cajuns in'th century Louisiana. Cast includes Armand Assante, Gail Youngs, Michael Schoeffiing, Stephen McHattie, Can Patton, and Nancy Barrett. (100 minutes,'86)

Shooter: Retired Marine Corp Sniper Bob Lee Swagger is asked to come to Washington, to help track another sniper that will try to kill the President. What happens to him next is a total shock. The same US government people that he is helping are actually setting him up to take the fall for the assassination. He somehow escapes when he is shot, and is now on the run. He is also ready to fight back.

Bullet in the Head: Extreme, highly charged tale of 3 buddies who leave Hong Kong to go to war torn'67 Vietnam and are drawn into a whirlwind of tough situations that tests their friendship. A film spiritual and over wrought with action footage and altercations that are as daring as anything that Woo has tried onscreen. Cast includes Tony Leung, Jacky Cheung, Waise Lee, Simon Yam, Fennie Yeon, and Yolinda Yan. (136 minutes,'90)

Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip: Pryor on Africa, sex, lawyers, his spouse, sex, Italian mobsters, more sex, and freebasing. Some of it's ludicrous, some isn't, however the audience is always shown tripled over with laughter. (82 minutes,'82)

Dodgeball, A True Underdog Story: Peter is the proud owner of Average Joe's gym. His luck is running low and White Goodman, owner of gym franchise Globo Gym, wants to get the gym from Peter. Things culminate in a dodge ball competition in which Average Joe's team must win for Peter to keep his beloved gym.

Stagecoach: One of the best American films, and a landmark in the aging of the Western. This is the film that launched John Wayne to authentic stardom. Mitchell won an Oscar as the intoxicated physician, as did the music score. Script by Dudley Nichos, from Ernest Haycox's tale "Level to Lordsburg" whose plot is comparable to Man de Maupassant's Boule de Suif. Cast includes Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Andy Devine, John Carradine, Thomas Mitchell, Tim Holt, Tom Tyer, and Jack Pennick. (96 minutes,'39)

Agnes of God: A youthful nun evidently became pregnant, then killed the baby in the cloistered environment of a convent. The court assigned psychiatrist finds no simple answers. Upsetting, not unconditionally pleasing, although electrified by 3 brilliant performances, and beautifully photographed by Sven Nykvist. Cast includes Jane Fonda, Anne Bancroft, Meg Tilly, Anne Pitoniak, Winston Reckert, and Gratien Gelinas. (98 minutes,'85)

Remember, be creative and use phrases like "Video Game Downloads". Not all searches get the right result. If the first one fails to work out try another one. Switch to "Rent DVD Online" and see if you find what you are looking for.

Additionally, will you be using the campfire to cook your meals or a portable stove?

A great way to make the most out of your vacation time is to prepare a few meals prior to leaving on your camping trip. This will free up time at the campsite to enjoy other activities. A few convenient and easy foods to bring along are taco-seasoned meat for "make your own" taco meals and casseroles. Like all frozen foods, casseroles can be used to keep other food items cold in the cooler and will thaw out in time for dinner.

Soups can be heated up quickly in the original can or in a sturdy pot over the campfire. Make sure that you remove all labels from any cans before you heat up the contents. Other canned items such as chili, tuna and salmon are also easy to store and prepare, just don't forget a manual can-opener. If you are going to do a lot of hiking, dehydrated and freeze-dried food items and complete meals are a great way to cut back on the weight for the backpacks.

Try and avoid bringing any food items that normally require some type of refrigeration. Frozen meats will be safe left out in the cooler for the first night as long as they are wrapped in tin foil and tucked into towels or clothing to retain the cold. Additionally, you will want to bring along food items that contain protein such as nuts, peanut butter, tuna, or dried beans; especially if your family is active!

As far as bread is concerned, choose bread that has a crisper crust as this will help to prevent damage during transportation. Dried milk is extremely easy to incorporate into recipes that use milk and tastes great, even if you don't like drinking it by the glass! Potatoes are an excellent camp food as they are sturdy, versatile and satisfying. Bring along some tin foil and you can make baked potatoes over the campfire.

You may deem that you are in safe hands downloading these free bootleg films because the website owner is the one in reality breaking the law, then again, computers leave a trace and every IP address can be traced back.

The Numbers For Basketball Great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

By Tania Gabrielle

I heard this morning that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, has cancer.

Abdul-Jabbar received his diagnosis, a rare form of leukemia, last December. Quite a few numbers were activated for him during that time.

His age in December 2008 was 61 - and that number ties in directly to his Day of Birth on the 16th.

In 2008 he was in a Personal Year of 21/3. This cycle activated one of the other important numbers in his Personal Numerology Blueprint - Abdul-Jabbar's 111/3 Destiny.

By the way, 111/3 Destiny is a very powerful triple digit Master Number. He shares it with the Ayatollah Khomeini and Henry Kissinger. Kareem's 111 Destiny is derived from his birth name, 'Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor'.

Notice how his Destiny Number is forever tied to a record he still holds. His 1,111 defensive rebounds remain the NBA single-season record, even after 34 years.

I'm glad he changed his name to 'Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.' It adds up to the Immortality Number, 17/8 indicating he will leave a legacy behind. Of course with Kareem that's an understatement.

Contrast his current name number to the name 'Ferdinand Alcindor' - which adds up to 16, the same number as his Day of Birth. Though initially this name number helped him rise to the top when he was young, it also could have easily resulted in a 'fall from a high place' at some point in this career, due to injury or other factors, if he hadn't changed it to the fortunate name we all know him by.

Speaking of the 16/7 - I want Kareem to be extra vigilant in the year 2011, because it's a 16 Personal Year for him. He will need extra rest and timeouts that year.

Kareem's Psychic Number is also very fitting - he has an 8. Notice that his powerful 17/8 current name 'Kareem Abdul-Jabbar' is directly connected to his Psychic Number.

An 8 Psychic Number means he receives his intuitive or psychic flashes while leading others and overcoming hurdles. 8 is very connected to high-powered athletes who reach success by surviving and rising above challenges every day of their lives.

So Kareem's Psychic Number 8 makes him feel invigorated and intuitively connected when there are challenges he can confront while being in a leadership position.

Once you know your own Psychic Number, you understand how your intuition is most easily activated. This knowledge is priceless, especially now.

Every person has intuitive gifts. Make sure you tap into your powerful sixth sense.

An Introduction To Casino Special Offers

Online casinos continue to gain in popularity, with many preferring their convenience and exciting game play. However, the popularity of these casinos means that this is an intensely competitive industry and online casinos are always looking for special offers and promotions which can bring in new customers.

How Casino Special Offers and Promotions Work

Casino special offers are beneficial to both the casinos and the gamers who patronize them. Players are always happy to receive the extra winnings, bonuses and free games which are often a part of these casino promotions and the casinos benefit from getting new business.

These casino special offers are different from one casino to another and the terms and conditions attached to these promotions also vary - make sure that you have read and understand these agreements before you make any deposits. Not every promotion is genuinely a good deal.

Types of Casino Special Offers

There are many different online casino promotions you might see; the following are the most common strategies which online casinos use to attract and retain gamers:

Sign up bonuses: Signup bonuses are given to new players to encourage them to open an account. These bonuses average about $100, but the exact amount varies from one casino special offer to the next. This bonus is most commonly disbursed over a period of time rather than being paid out all at once.

Percentage bonus: With these bonuses, the casino will match a percentage of your deposits. Many promotions have percentage bonuses between 50% and 500%. There is usually a limit on how much the casino will match, so make sure to read the fine print.

Matching bonus: These bonuses involve matching your deposit dollar for dollar; there is typically a limit on how much the casino will match with these bonuses as well.

Reload offer: A reload offer is usually given to current players. The casino will add money to the player's account to get them to come back and game at their site.

Preferred deposit: This casino promotion offers some sort of incentive (usually a matching bonus) to gamers who use the casino's preferred type of payment.

Loyalty rewards: These promotions are designed to encourage long time players to continue using the casino by offering a reward to gamers who have maintained their accounts for a certain amount of time.

High roller rewards: High roller rewards are usually percentage or matching bonuses given to players who make deposits of a certain size or higher. The exact type of reward may vary from online casino to online casino.

The above are some of the most common casino special offers, though there are many other casino promotions you'll see as you investigate online casinos. These casino special offers work well for the casinos in terms of getting new players interested and some of these special offers are a good deal for gamers. Before making any deposits, however, make sure to read the terms and conditions so that you can be sure of getting what you think you are.

Misaligned Teeth in your Pooch

By Catherine V. Testaratti

If your dog's teeth do not align right, its called malocclusion, which mean the fit of the bite is not right. This condition usually starts as the puppies teeth start coming in. As the dog grows to adulthood, the condition can get better or worsen.

Puppies usually have 28 baby teeth the time they reach 6 months old. Once they reach adulthood, they should have 42 teeth. As we all know, those puppy teeth can be very sharp and are potentially harmful so make sure you play with caution.

One of the side effects of this problem is that the dog might have problems picking up or chewing food. Best to have your vet check it out to assure you that your puppy does not run the risk of a fracture or wear on the teeth. Many times this condition has minimal effect with the dog eating.

The most common malocclusions are overbite or underbite. This occurs when the mouth is closed and the teeth do not meet creating a gap. Many breeds have this problem naturally and do not have any issues; however, the flat face family of dogs will not have the scissor bite.

The scissor bite is not something that you will find in all dogs. Boxers, Shih Tzus and Lhasa Apsos are some of the most common of the flat nose breed. Something you need to know when you are purchasing a purebred dog from this family.

It is not uncommon for puppies to be born with gaps in their teeth. These gaps will usually correct themselves as the puppy gets older and his adult teeth come in. If the problem does not correct by around the 10-month mark, it likely will not correct itself.

When adult teeth start coming in, this can cause the condition to worsen. Damage to the soft part of the mouth can occur and your vet might need to intervene. All your vet would need to do is extract a tooth or two to correct the problem.

Depending on the severity, you might just want to consult your vet for their opinion. I have heard of situation where puppies have been fitted with braces, but I do not think I am ready for that. What will they think of next; contact lenses?

I do feel we owe it to our pets to make their life comfortable. Be consistent with their checkups and vaccinations to extend the life of your dog. After all, they are your family too.

A Small Collection Of Useful Film Synopses To Check Out

By Elba Delaney

In the past you had to go to a store if you wanted to rent or buy a movie. As technologies have advanced, downloading dvds off movie download sites is becoming very common. Following is a list of a few movies that you can get using a movie download site.

Genealogies of a Crime: Deneuve is beaming in a twin role as the attorney for, and victim of, a strange youthful gentleman who's implicated of killing his psychiatrist mother's sibling after she supposedly subjected him to drastic mind-control therapy. Well-performed although conceited, deliberately perplexing blend of puzzle, satire, and surrealism; hoaxed up with pointless flashbacks within flashbacks and other narrative and graphic gimmicks. Cast includes Catherine Deneuve, Michel Piccoli, Melvil Poupaud, Andrzej Seweryn, and Bernadette LaFont. (114 minutes,'97)

Fandango: Five college friends have one last fling before moving on to face the real world. Based on the film Proof, and enlarged to box office level under sponsorship of Steven Spielberg. Cast includes Kevin Costner, Judd Nelson, Sam Robards, Ditch Bush, and Brian Cesak. (91 minutes,'85)

Barnyard: Excited zaniness set on a farm where, after sundown, the animals turn the barn into a loud nightclub. James is Otis, a young cow who is very mature, much to the chagrin of his dad, Ben Elliott, who keeps watch for preying coyotes when the others party. Irrera stands out as Duke the Mutt. Cast includes Courtney Cox, Sam Elliott, Danny Glover, Wanda Sykes, Andie MacDowell, David Koechner, and Laraine Newman. (90 minutes, 2006)

Night Must Fade: Cerebral effort to match the original, this redo is too apparent and theatrical for any credibility. Cast includes Albert Finney, Susan Hampshire, Mona Washbourne, Sheila Hancock, Michael Medwin, Joe Gladwin, and Martin Wyldeck. (105 minutes,'64)

Delirious: An astonishingly foolish comedy with a nice premise. A beleaguered soap opera author gets a conk on the head and fantasizes that he's living in his own story in a heroic role that allows him to have his way with the lady he worships in the real word. Cast includes John Candy, Mariel Hemingway, Emma Samms, David Rasche, Charles Rocket, Raymond Burr, and Dylan Baker. (96 minutes,'91)

They overcome this obstacle by paying off a street drunk to get the tickets for them. This is the boy's first real intense introduction to foul language. They leave the movie fully trained in the new words, and use them whenever they can. This leads to outrage from the parents. Since Terrence and Phillip are Canadian, this ends with the US and Canada going to war.

Blind Date: Dr. Dullea tests a device that inspires visions on the blind Bottoms, inducing him to become addicted to seizing a psycho murderer who's on the loose. Powerful cast perks up a contrived thriller, filmed in Greece. Cast includes Joseph Bottoms, Kirstie Alley, James Daughton, Lana Clarkson, and Keir Dullea. (100 minutes,'84)

Multiplayer Or Solo Casino Games

Online casinos are very much like a typical casino you would find Las Vegas. They have flashy graphics, intense sound and a large variety of games. You have the option online of choosing between solo and multiplayer casino games.

In your average Vegas casino there are generally some games that are played solo or alone, like slots, and some games that are usually played with multiple players, like poker. In an online casino, though, you usually get to make that choice for yourself. Some games can be solo and others are multiplayer casino games.

Solo Games

Slots are one solo game that are almost always single player, whether online or offline. This game is played between player and machine.

In online casinos, there are more options for players to play games alone against the computer. Blackjack is commonly available for solo game play. Also, many of the downloadable games available from online casinos are set up to be played solo against the computer.

Part of the fun of casino games, though, is the trill of playing against and beating other players. That is why multiplayer casino games are so popular.

Multiplayer Casino Games

There are a range of different multiplayer casino games that you can play. Multiplayer games allow you to interact with others and to have the chance to really show off your game playing skills.

Most multiplayer casino games offer the added benefit of a chat room. The chat feature allows players to talk just as they would if they were in an actual casino. This helps to add to the realism of the casino experience and can also be a great way to gauge other players since you cannot physically see them. Even slots, which are a solo game no matter where you play, can be made interactive through the addition of a chat feature.

Multiplayer games are available for all different types of casino games. From poker to blackjack to bingo, you can find multiplayer options so you can interact with other players.

Solo vs. Multiplayer Casino Games

Multiplayer games help to bring a new level of fun to the online gaming experience. You get to meet others, even make friends through these games. It is a lot of fun to have that added dimension to the game when you are playing online.

Online gaming is convenient and fun, but when you stick to playing only solo games you lose part of the excitement that you would get in a real world casino. Solo games may be quick to play and you can play any time you want, but multiplayer games give you that personal interaction.

Multiplayer games do require that you wait for a room to open up. Most casinos, though, will have plenty of game rooms available so wait times are not too long, if there is any wait at all. This is a minor inconvenience , though, when you enjoy the interaction with other players and the added thrill that comes with playing multiplayer games.

Online Country Music Guitar Lessons

By Don Danielson

What better way is there to learn to play the guitar today? Well a very popular means is via the Internet. Because of it's popularity, taking country music guitar lessons, will guide and you show you the many tricks and tips of the trade. We will focus on two very popular styles that are played by many artists around the world. And we are also going to talk about the Telecaster guitar.

A popular style which evolved through rock and blues music is called the slide style. Many people refer to it also as the bottleneck style. How it came about was musicians felt the need to express their lyrics with the guitar sounding like a human singing voice.

People just loved the way the guitar would sound when an object would slide along the strings of the guitar which made a wailing and whining sound. From here the sounds become more like a singing voice than an instrumental voice.

It is quite an interesting story how the "bottleneck" guitar was started. Players would actually take two necks of certain bottles and place the glass onto their first and second fingers. People also tried using knives or blades. You can either play this guitar in a normal position or you can opt to place is flat on your lap.

Another style of playing the country guitar is using the "chicken picken" technique. Walon Jennings started it by pulling the strings with his right hand finger while at the same time damping the strings with his left hand. Today many lead guitarists use this technique when doing solos. Of course there are many different styles to play a guitar and no doubt you will find your own unique style. It is important for you to be comfortable with the guitar and the sound.

Rock and roll guitars can produce so many different sounds but it would be wise for you to learn how a typical country music guitar sounds. You see it has its very own unique sound that only a slide can produce. If you listen to country music then try to identify when a slide is used.

Most country musicians choose to stay with these sounds and they are clear and simplistic in nature. To this end they all swear by the Fender Telecaster guitar.

Easy Face Painting - By Kelly Van Dorn

By Kelly Van Dorn

For some, the idea of face painting may intimidate them at first if they are not naturally artistic or have never picked up a brush. This shouldn't worry you as there are lots of books out there that you can use, start with beginner's books and work your way up to more advanced.

As you look for the information you will realize that there is enough material available on easy face painting. All you have to do is to look for more simple designs and practice them. If you do not have volunteers for you to practice on you can use paper and then use your own hands or legs and see how it looks.

You should start by painting simple designs to gain your confidence and once you have it, go on to more complex designs. Having FDA approved paint will also ease the worry of one of your customers having a skin reaction. Make sure you have the correct tools to complete your face painting, brushes and sponges are a must. Once you have started you will see how easy face painting really is.

Books will always have some easy face painting ideas for you to copy but knowing that boys and girls have different likes and dislikes will help you to have a wide range of designs to choose from. Boys prefer monsters of Spiderman designs whereas girls like princesses, flowers or bunnies.

Another tip is to try and find out the expected number of boys and girls in advance and put together a portfolio of designs accordingly.

If you want an easy face painting session then you should display the designs which you will be painting so that the kids can make up their mind before they come in front of you to get their face painted. If you do not do that then the tiny tots may have difficult time in deciding what they want on their faces.

Tips For Buying The Right Tv Stand

By Randy Kriller

Buying an LCD TV is an amazing idea. But when it comes to placing the equipment, it should be kept in mind how important buying the right stand is. LCD TVs are fragile and sensitive equipment and need careful selection of an appropriate LCD TV stand. This is important because you need the expensive TV you just bought to give you all the benefits. This includes proper viewing placement and the safety of the TV itself.

An owner's manual for the LCD television will guide you as to what kind of TV stand you need to buy. You can figure out the width and height of the proper mount that is required by checking the specifications in the user's manual. Once you have them you can buy something that will keep you television safe and better suited for your viewing pleasure.

An important aspect of buying the right LCD TV stand is to get a stand which is at the right height for your viewing needs. This is why it is important that you figure out the placement of the television before you go buy a stand. You can also try to sit at the different viewing locations until you are satisfied that you have the appropriate height measured down.

Most stands of course come in standard viewing heights, but there are flexible mounts available as well which can be placed in accordance to your room placements. There are two types of stands available in the market. One kind is simple and comes in a pedestal kind of design. The second kind has shelves or compartments.

The kind you need to buy depends on whether you wish to connect other equipment to your television like a DVD player or a gaming console. In this case you will need a stand with storage units. Swivel TV stands for LCD TVs are also a good idea. They give you amazing positioning control and they also come in a variety of models for floor, wall mount and off the ground ceiling mounts. These can help you get perfect line-of-sight for sharp viewing.

You can get good bargains on LCD TV stands from online stores like eBay and Amazon. Other than that you can check out your local Target, Wal-mart or Sears store for an amazing variety of television stands. These stores also have websites where you can shop for their products online.

Most people think it is impossible to beat online slots. The truth is that there are methods and ways to increase your chances and help you to beat the slots. Online slot machines are no harder or any differently, actually, than those found in an offline casino.

The information below should give you some good ideas of how you can start beating online slots.

Have a Goal

When you start playing the slots you need to know what it is you want to do. This is not simply to say you want to win. You need to give yourself some boundaries. Set a time limit or a limit on the amount of money you will spend. You can also set limits on how many times you are willing to lose or simply how many times you will play regardless of winning or losing. Setting limits helps ensure that you don't waste your money or time on a machine where you are losing.

Recognize the Odds

When it comes to playing online slots the odds are always in favor of the casino. That is just the reality of slots. You have to accept that you will win some and lose some. You cannot win every time. When you start to get greedy and focus in on winning and don't pay attention to the fact that you will lose then that is when you get in trouble and the slots start beating you.

Look at the Payoff

To better increase your chance at high winnings, you should play the slots that have the biggest payoffs. Take some time to check out the machines that are available. Learn about them and get to know the specifics. Choose your machine carefully.

Play for Free

One thing that you might want to do if you are a beginner is to play some free slots. Playing free slots will allow you to test out the machines and test out your methods.

You can usually play slots for free online easily because many casinos offer this option.

Anyone can win at online slots. It is not impossible to beat these machines. You just need to be focused and have some good strategy. If you are willing to set limits, get familiar with the machines and play big then chances are you will winning more than losing.

Lebron James' Vertical Jump is 41 Inches! Use This Workout and Start Dunking Like Lebron

By Brayden Fisher

Lebron James is an amazing athlete and is without a doubt one of the top players in the NBA. His 41 inch vertical leap helps him gain that competitive edge over his competition. Just think about it....his vertical leap helps him grab rebounds, block shots, and dunk over his opponents. It makes the game of basketball easier overall. Now, I can't promise you that you will be dunking the ball from the free-throw line like Lebron James, but if you put in some hard work and have the right training program you CAN improve your vertical leap.

In order to improve your vertical leap you should focus most of your attention on increasing the strength of your quads, hamstrings and calves. Why these muscle groups? Because they are responsible for more than 80 percent of your jumping power.

The exercises I have below will not only strengthen these muscles but they will help you increase your vertical as well. So let's take a look at them:

Heavy Squats - This is BY FAR the best overall exercise you can do for your vertical jump. It hits every muscle group that we are focusing on. Notice I said "Heavy" squats. When performing this exercise you should not be able to do more than 8 reps per set.

Paused Jump Squat - This is a good variation to the regular squat. Use a weight that is about 20% of your max. Squat down so that your thighs are parallel to the ground and then hold this position for 3 seconds. Next, EXPLODE UP and jump as high as you can. Do 3 sets of 8.

50 Yard Sprints - Believe it or not running sprints is a great way to increase not only your top speed but your vertical jump as well. The two basically go hand in hand. Once or twice a week you should perform 3-5 50 yard sprints at your maximum speed.

Another area that is often neglected is a person's form when they are jumping. It is very common to receive a 3 or 4 inch immediate increase in your vertical jump by simply implementing the right jumping techniques. So how can I say this? Well, I have seen it in myself. To get more information on perfecting you jumping technique then visit the links I have below:

Progressive Jackpots 101

Progressive jackpots are exciting. They have everyone talking. They may have draw you in or at least made you want to know more about them. Well, you are in luck because you are about to find out all you need to know about progressive jackpots.

Get Informed

One of the most important things about playing progressive jackpots is understanding them. In any casino game you play knowledge gives you an edge. It is important to understand a game so that you can know how the game works and what you need to do to win.

The Basics

A progressive jackpot is a jackpot that keeps growing as people play. It is a jackpot that is linked to multiple machines, so everyone playing on those machines help to build up the jackpot. This type of jackpot is one of the largest jackpots you have the chance to win off any gaming machine. In fact, a progressive jackpot is probably the largest jackpot in the whole casino.

The game for the progressive jackpot is a normal gaming machine game, like video poker or slots. It is played just as you would play a regular jackpot game. There are no tricks and the odds are exactly the same. The only difference is the fact that winning a progressive jackpot will give a chance at more money then you could ever win on a regular jackpot.

How the Jackpot Grows

The jackpot grows every time someone linked to it plays and does not win. To win a progressive jackpot a player is usually required to play a minimum number of credits. Players not playing the required number credits cannot win, but when they play they still help build the jackpot.

Since there are multiple players building the jackpot, the jackpot grows very fast. It usually seems like the jackpot is continuously growing and it is when there are many players working to build it up by playing games.

When someone wins the jackpot goes back to the minimum amount and then begins to grow again. Even after a win, the jackpot is built up again rather rapidly.

Playing Progressive Jackpots

It is important to remember when playing progressive jackpots that the game has not changed. If you are playing slots then it is exactly the same as a regular jackpot slot machine. Some people start to get very loose with their playing style and throw caution to the wind when they play progressive jackpots simply due to the large jackpot. This is not smart.

When playing progressive jackpots you should still stick with your normal playing methods. Set limits for yourself and do not let yourself get intimidated by the large jackpot.

Playing progressive jackpots does give you the opportunity to win more than you ever could with regular machines. You have the same odds of winning, so why not at least try out a progressive jackpot machine? You have nothing more to lose than you would playing regular machines, but you have so much more to gain.

Discover More About Accessing Free Movies On The Internet

By Cotton Lindsey

Have you ever noticed that retailers are charging more for new movie titles these days? There was a time when you could acquire a new DVD movie at a fraction of what you will pay now. While the average costs of a new title is around $24.00, you should expect to pay twice the amount for a Blu-Ray movie.

Too often, I have went out a purchased a newly released title, and ended up disappointed after I look at the movie in my home. In most cases I was stuck with the purchase because a large amount of retail stores do no allow returns on movies. Like software, once you open the container, it is yours to hold.

One of the biggest reasons for movie buying remorse is because many individuals acquire adventure movies having never seen them. While this may be okay for certain vintage and classic science fiction movies, it is not okay for scary movies that are considered new. New romance movies without any standing have to be reviewed and weighed as a matter of public opinion.

So why do so many men get caught up in the hype of horror movies trailers and clips? These clips often highlight the most shocking and exciting parts of a video. Very often these scenes are played up by the throbbing sound of musical drama that makes the movie more attractive.

Third party feedback are often very reliable because they are constructed by men and women that do not have a vested interest in the movie. In most cases, they will tell you what they liked about it as well as what they hated. After you have looked at through several reviews, then go to specific sites such as Hollywood Video or Blockbuster and looked at relevant reviews.

Once you have read a sufficient amount of feedback, seek out the internet and see if there is a Red Box in your area. Red Box is the new player for movie rentals. They typically carry each new release and can frequently be found in convenience stores, Wall Mart Stores and shopping centers throughout your community.

Once you have read several feedback, then visit Hollywood video and Blockbuster on the internet and read through the ratings and ratings published on those websites. These are quality ratings represented by thousands of men throughout the United States and other territories that have these movie rental stores.

After you have read through the ratings of the top two video rental stores, Blockbuster and Hollywood Video, go to Red Box online and see if the new movie title is obtainable. You can rent a Red Box movie for $1.00 and control it overnight. This is the best way to assess a movie before you elect to pay the full retail value of the movie.

Progressive Jackpots - What's The Big Deal?

If you have been playing in the online casinos then you have probably heard about progressive jackpots. What are they and why is everyone so excited about them? Progressive jackpots are a way to win big and there are plenty of reasons why people are talking about them.

The Definition

A progressive jackpot is not complex to understand. Simply put it is a jackpot that gets larger each time a game is played. Progressive jackpots are available on gaming machines, like slot machines. The jackpot is not just for one machine, though.

One jackpot can have several machines linked to it, so everyone playing on the machines linked to that jackpot are playing for that jackpot. This is both good and bad. On the one hand you are competing with others so your chances of winning are lessened, but on the other hand, everyone playing is building up the jackpot.

Why All the Hype?

Progressive jackpots are definitely very popular. People seem to love them and love to talk about them. Why is there so much hype about this type of jackpot?

The bottom line is that progressive jackpots offer you a chance to win some of the highest jackpots available. Since they are constantly being built up, the minute you hit the right winning combination you win a large chunk of cash. Who wouldn't want to try to win a huge jackpot?

People also like progressive jackpots because they are associated with gaming machines. Slot machines are already very popular. They require no special knowledge to play. They are easy to find and available in every online casino.

Another perk of these machines is that in order to win players are usually required to play a certain number of credits. Some players do not realize this and end up playing a minimum number of credits, so they cannot win the jackpot, but every time they play they are increasing the jackpot. This makes the odds more in favor of those who are playing the required number of credits.

Finally, playing progressive jackpots has the same odds of playing a regular machine. You have the same chance of winning, but you can win so much more with progressive jackpots. Basically, you get more for your money since you have the same chance of winning as when you play a regular machine.

Playing progressive jackpots is something you have to decide for yourself. You can stick to regular machines and still win big, but you will not have the chance to win the huge jackpots that are paid out through progressive jackpots.

When making your decision about playing progressive or regular jackpot games, make sure you think about everything. Consider the number of players and the amount of money that you have to play. Do not get tricked into thinking that you have a better chance with a progressive jackpot machine because you don't. Stick with your usually slot strategies that you use to win on regular machines and you should be fine if you do choose to play a progressive jackpot.
