The first thing a Holdem player should learn is which cards are
worth playing, and which should be folded. Many beginning
players stay in a hand with cards that have little or no future,
and it ends up showing in there chip count.

Remember that no two cards alone can be unbeatable, and once
the flop falls things that once looked good may no longer be
worth pursuing. Still, to give yourself the best chance to
succeed, play only the premium hands.

The best starting hands are: Large Pairs - Aces, Kings, Queens,
Jacks. Even pairs of tens and nines and eights are high quality
starting hands. Play them.

Aces with suited High Cards - When you get an Ace with a K,Q,J,
or even a ten, many good things can happen. You already have
high card. If a flush comes, you’ll have the best possible one
because of your ace. High straights, and even a straight flush
is possible with these cards. Play them.

Suited Faces Cards and Tens - While it’s nicer to have an ace in
the hole, suited face cards are playable hands. They hold a lot
of potential including high pair with a strong kicker,
straights, and flushes.

Aces with unsuited High Cards - Aces with an unsuited partner
can still give you top pair with a high kicker, or a high
straight. Because other players may also have an ace, the
strength of the second card in your hand is important. If two
players tie, that second card, or ‘kicker’ will decide the
winner. This is why A-10 is a playable hand, and A-6 is not.
(A-10 can also turn into a high straight). So while aces are
highly sought after, do not feel the need to play every hand in
which you are dealt an ace.

King with Face Card - A King with a Queen, or with a Jack is a
playable hand. But, it is not as strong as you may think. Still,
two face cards rank high enough that seeing the flop is often a
good idea.

These are the strongest starting hands in a Texas Holdem game.
Other hands are playable depending on the circumstances at the
table, but beginners may want to stick to playing only these
premium hands until they understand the game more fully. Playing
these hands will not guarantee that you will be a winner. Poker
doesn’t work that way. Even pairs of Aces get beaten. But, if
you want to win a pot, finding any of the cards listed on the
chart in your hand is a good place to start.

To most, sand dunes are as synonymous with deserts as water is to an ocean. However, the deserts of the southwest are certainly no American Sahara. Sand dunes cover but a small percentage of the total land area, with the vast majority made up of silica, composed of weathered quartz. What makes the white sands of New Mexico’s White Sands National Monument, located just outside of Alamogordo, special is their composition- gypsum. There are only a few gypsum sand dune fields in the world, with those preserved at White Sands National Monument being by far the largest. Since gypsum is a water soluble mineral, and is usually carried by rivers away to the sea, a perfect coincidence of environmental conditions must exist to form a gypsum dune field. In additional to the snow white color, which turns sublime shades of pink and purple under the right light, gypsum sands differ from silica in being much softer and less abrasive. This sand actually feels like talcum powder between your fingers and toes!

So where did all this gypsum sand originate? During the age of the dinosaurs, a shallow sea covered much of the interior of North America. Gypsum, a salt of calcium sulfate, was dissolved in the water and formed sediments when the seas dried up. The sediments were lifted into a giant dome in southern New Mexico 70 million years ago, during the same period that the Rocky Mountains were formed. The dome began to collapse 10 million years ago, forming the Tularosa basin. The lowest point in the basin, Lake Lucero, is the main source of material from which the dunes have been carved. Large crystals of gypsum known as selenite can be found there. The constant action of southwesterly winds has eroded these deposits into tiny particles and blown them into the dune field. The dunes are constantly being moved to the southwest and reshaped by these winds.

Life forms at White Sands are specially adapted to the challenging conditions of the dunes. Yuccas grow at a rate fast enough to keep up with the advancing sand, ultimately developing stems over 30 feet long, mostly covered by sand. When the dunes move on, the plant collapses and dies. Other plants have strong roots which hold in place pedestals of raised sand, forming an island for life in the harsh dune environment. Much of the fauna found at White Sands, including lizards, toads, pocket mice, crickets, and beetles, have evolved white forms that are camoflauged with their environment. In order to cope with the extremes of temperature and dryness, many animals remain underground by day and emerge at only night. A morning hike through the dunes will reveal copious evidence of their nocturnal activities.

Although the road in White Sands National Monument leads directly into the dune field, the best way to experience this place is to leave the car and hike some of the trails. The Big Dune Nature trail, located on the edge of the dune field, allows for close observation of many of the plants and animals adapted to life there. Animals are especially active early in the moring and at dusk. The Interdune Boardwalk goes through an area densely populated by wildflowers during the blooming season. For a true wilderness experience, the Alkalai Flats trail will take you deep into the heart of the dunes- a sea of white surrounded by rugged mountains! The 4.6 mile loop leads to the dry lakebed of Lake Otero and back, and is marked by orange plastic markers anchored to the dunes. The color and forms of the dunes there are very reminescent of snow- a surreal environment. While hiking this trail, several times I had to remind myself that I was in New Mexico, not Antarctica! Like snow, they reflect the sunlight fiercely, so high strength sunblock is a must. Also, the plastic markers are the only landmarks, so be sure to stay in sight of them. Being on the dunes at dusk or dawn and watching the sands glow different shades of pink and purple in the low rays of the sun is an experience not soon to be forgotten. It’s also a great place to bring the kids, or to let out your inner child, and romp about in the soft sand.

One can make huge money by selling life insurance policies. This is a very lucrative and profitable business. But there is a catch. You need to have expertise not only in selling but also in generating leads for your business or at least a discerning eye for good leads.

As we know the insurance market is a hyper competitive market and is not easy terrain to navigate any more. But on the other hand its competitiveness is the telling sign of the massive money in this market. So rather than be discouraged by the competition one should be encouraged because it assures you that your slice of the pie is waiting.

Your challenge as an insurance agent is to find a space for yourself and your product and claim your share of the pot. Though it is not an easy thing to do you must learn the art of distinguishing yourself and your product as uniquely invaluable to your prospects in order to establish a long term financial foothold. How will you do this? We will cover these methods in subsequent articles.

Most life insurance agents rely on buying leads from lead generation companies directly. But there is a big disadvantage in buying leads. They are often of lesser quality, old leads, or shared with other life insurance agents. Above all there is no assurance that the leads you buy will be closed as sales.

The problem is that agents can’t build a life insurance business without a continuous stream of leads. The best solution to this problem is learning to generate leads on your own for your business. Now it’s not the easiest thing to do, but it has an enormous value for you. Once you setup a lead generation system for yourself which generates real-time non-shared leads you will be way ahead of your competitors. You can visit this site weekly for exclusive methodology lessons on lead generation. Follow the link “Life Insurance Leads” and learn to setup your Lead generation process absolutely free.

So you’ve got everything in place, busily working away for you. You’ve got your banners out, you’ve exchanged links, you’ve optimized your site for the search engines, you’ve got ad and P.P.C. campaigns bringing site visitors, your sales copy is converting them to customers or getting them on your list. But did you forget B.O.B.?

B.O.B. - the Best Of Both worlds. Man does not live on the Internet alone, you know. Those same people who become your customers online actually live and breathe in the outside world. Let B.O.B. help you integrate the outside world to the Web world, and increase your bottom line.

There are many ways to bring in additional streams of income using B.O.B.

One of the best ways, of course, is by referrals. Just as you use testimonials on your site, also get your customers to refer you to others on the outside. REMIND them (frequently) to tell their family, friends, and business buddies about your site. Getting a short and memorable Domain Name definitely helps in this regard.

Providing a special incentive, such as a discount or gift to both your customer and her referral makes both of them feel that you are giving them a special deal. People like to feel special, and they like special deals that others can’t get. This adds to customer satisfaction, which will, in turn, get you more referrals.

Thus, one more stream of happy buyers!

Another technique is using business cards as ads to increase your online sales. A properly designed business card for this purpose would be geared toward getting the card-holder to visit your site. Don’t just put your name and website on the card! Give them a reason to go there. Give them an incentive, or make them curious enough to want to check it out. Also, don’t try to sell your product on your card - just create enough interest to get them to your site, where your sales copy will either get the sale, or get them on your golden list!

Whatever you do, don’t mislead the prospect just to get them to your site! That will only serve to use up your bandwidth, and irritate what could have been your newest customer.

Be sure to give your card out everywhere you go - the gas station, the grocery store, the restaurant, the mall, the symphony, the museum - everywhere.

Leave a trail of cards behind you - one more easy technique to add to your bottom line!

There are many more ways to increase your online sales by coordinating the outside world with your Internet marketing techniques. Be creative in your integration, and you will find your site getting more and more visitors.

So don’t forget to use B.O.B. (Best Of Both worlds) in every marketing campaign to build your business to the max!

While we’re using search marketing to bring the advertiser to
the interested query at ICMediaDirect.com our iconic locale, the
Empire State Building, brings the outlandish to our doorstep. It
wasn’t a man in an ape suit that startled me at lunchtime two
Fridays ago, but a handful of “wack pack” wannabes milling
through the lobby screaming “Baba Booey!” instead. It had been
Howard Stern’s final broadcast on “terrestrial” radio and there
was a nearby parade, of sorts, to celebrate. The King Of All
Media was calling it a day and marching off into an
embarrassingly rich sunset. This KOAM is being compensated for
his past “terrestrial” excellence in a new medium that doesn’t
need him - well, not at half a billion dollars, anyway.

Howard Stern, a champion, a king even, of traditional radio, has
fully inserted his show into a stratified channel of new media
by signing with Sirius Satellite Radio. He’s left the old ways
behind. Sirius, the lesser of two players in the satellite radio
arena, sells their own proprietary hardware and charges a
monthly fee for its service. This new format offers an extensive
selection of ad-free programming with nationwide reception. Like
any other form of new media, satellite radio ultimately owes its
existence to recent advances in computer science.

We’re fully immersed in new media at ICMediaDirect.com, a full
service online advertising agency, and we’re keenly aware of the
benefits and limits of our chosen milieu. Take, for instance,
our search division - it enables advertisers to reach users
who’ve indicated some relevant interest in a product or service.
As a provider of search we’d certainly want more volume, but we
are aware that the value of search is in the quality and not
quantity of the business we conduct. ICMediaDirect.com will
ensure that the purveyor of hand knit cardigans for pets will
reach his eclectic customer base instead of trying to foist dog
sweaters on the Internet at large. Thanks to advances in search,
only those looking to dress their darling Fifi for the cold
winter months will be shown these ads. New media allows added
depth and subtlety in reaching customers.

Howard Stern, on the other hand, can sell Snapple or Vermont
Teddy Bears to the nation, not an unimpressive skill by any
means. Advertisers love his show. He’s done such a good job, in
fact, that he’s been awarded a half-billion dollar contract to
sell the Sirius brand. His value to Sirius is his name only, not
the performance of his show. (His show, too, will supposedly
continue to pitch products. And they said cable TV would be the
end of television commercials, right? Either way, those ads will
not begin to recoup $500 million.) The only ones who will hear
him are the ones already sold. Say what you will about the
merits of satellite radio, but putting Stern behind closed doors
for paid admission only isn’t a long-term growth scenario. On
Tuesday, December 27, 2005 Sirius announced three million
subscribers. This is great news for Sirius, they’ve made real
headway and their stock popped a bit. The King Of All Media
should take his bow now because he’s played a large role in the
ramp-up. But Stern’s punch is a finite one that cannot snowball
- his broadcasting genius will be hidden from everyone who isn’t
already a Sirius subscriber. So how will he reach everyone else,
outrageous stunts? Yahoo video streams? Headlines? How does
Sirius know that second hand reports of Stern’s impending
shenanigans won’t annoy more than attract? Talk about your dicey
propositions.

Consider this adage of marketing: “Never let the public know
that they can live without your product.” Millions of less
dedicated Stern fans and the uninitiated and those who don’t
care for him to begin with will learn to live without Howard
Stern - and it will not be difficult. I know from personal
experience. I used to listen to him all the time, but missed a
long spell for work reasons and never regained interest in his
show again. Sirius is not an opportunity for Stern to gain new
listeners, but a guarantee of a smaller listener base instead.
Want Stern? Pay up. But is he popular enough to single-handedly
make Sirius a success?

Howard Stern will be an enormous name broadcasting from a
tightly sealed echo chamber, one that sets you back hundreds to
crack. The privilege of listening to Stern will cost about
$100-600 for the platform and around $13 per month thereafter.
There’s no getting around the fact that he’s left many of his
proven strengths behind in the mass audience, free
advertiser-based paradigm. His universe of potential listeners,
which used to consist of anyone with FM radio access in an
American major market, now consists solely of 3 million Sirius
subscribers. That’s 3 million total with even the ability to
turn on his show for a guy who’s bragged of 13 million regular
listeners.

Some ramifications of a decimated listener base:

* If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? Far less
people will be talking about his morning show in the workplace.
His impact will be neutralized. * He has no direct competition
and bashing the other guy has always been a staple for Stern.
All Sirius listeners have paid their admission. Good luck
shaming satisfied (or even aloof) XM Satellite Radio customers
into Sirius subscriptions, Howard. Like those without satellite
radio, they’ll never hear you. * This smaller pool of listeners
means less reason for big names to appear on the show for
interviews. The star system is reliant on a traditional formula
- exposure to as many people as possible in order to promote
their books, movies, album, etc. He’s got friends in the
business, but no major star will feel any pressure to be a guest
on a show with so little public penetration. * He can be as
profane as he wants. This will not win him a single fan who
doesn’t already like him - but it might turn some people off. I
don’t know how this relationship will end up. Sirius may weather
the huge contract and overtake XM; Stern might feud with his
bosses and blame listener disinterest on lack of support from
Sirius; I imagine he’ll use connections to keep his show in the
press; maybe he’ll start satellite war with Opie & Anthony; I
don’t know, but I will guarantee you one thing: there will be no
more contracts of gargantuan size for Howard Stern or anyone
else in the new media as a reward for accomplishment in
traditional formats. The rules are simply different here. If
nothing else, I’ve learned in the trenches of ICMediaDirect.com
that the rules of engagement within the new media require that
we cater to the individual, not the crowds. Soon enough, The
King will know this, too.

I found an interesting article about the Iranian war. The
article can be found here: http://jedha.blogspot.com/

Here is a summary:

According to Russian Ivan Wenner at:-
http://www.massagemaker.citymaker.com/Iran…stmas_2005.html

U.S./Israel Bombing Of Iran’s Nuclear Reactors Set For Christmas
2005 To Prevent Nuclear Fallout Russian Cargo of Nuclear Fuel To
Be Delivered To Iran At The End Of 2005 or early 2006

As reported in Payvand’s Iran News:
http://www.payvand.com/news/05/sep/1177.html “Russian President
Vladimir Putin said that his country is committed to complete
Bushehr nuclear power station in Iran on time.” “Head of the
Russian Atomic Energy Organization Alexander Rumyantsev said
that the nuclear power station currently under construction in
Bushehr by his country will be completed in the coming year and
that the first cargo of nuclear fuel will be sent there either
at the end of the year 2005 or early 2006.”

According to AntiWar.com
http://www.antiwar.com/orig/hirsch.php?articleid=7649 “Israel
bombed Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor (which was under IAEA
supervision) in 1981 just before nuclear fuel was loaded into it
(to prevent nuclear fallout).”

Also according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osirak “It is now
known that during the strike preparations for Israel to bomb
Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981, the important question
that affected its timing, was the estimated time in which the
reactor would become “live” with nuclear fuel, and a strike
after that date that the reactor becomes “live” would cause
radiation fallout on nearby civilians - that date when the Iraq
Osirak nuclear reactor was bombed by Israel on 7th June 1981 was
assumed to be just a few weeks before the reactor was due to
become “live”.”

The question is just: how good can israel handle the shihab
missile? There is a big possibility that their arrow missile
defense can’t handle shihabs. They tested the Arrow against a
shihab in 2004 but that test was unsuccesfull because the arrow
failed to intercept. They have improved the range of it since
then but that is not enough. It will possible result in a much
worser scenairo than 1991 when Saddam attacked Israel. The
Iranian reactor is going to be destroyed but so will Israel.

>From the beginning of time, men and women alike have sought the
affections of others in many ways, but is the Internet Cupid’s
new home? Life is so much faster these days as evidenced by
concepts like “speed dating”. People want to make the most of
their lives and even the most successful in business realize
that it’s all worth less without love. Of course, we survive and
enjoy our lives with or without good companionship but deep down
everyone longs for the inspiration of love.

So our challenge begins daily by navigating through the hustle
and bustle of today’s fast paced society leaving very little
time for seeking out a mate. As we get older and our hours and
minutes spoken for, we find that we sometimes lower our
expectations or rearrange our priorities when it comes to
dating. When we were younger and much less experienced with what
the world had to offer, it seemed that girlfriends and
boyfriends were all around us and very disposable.

What we would do to find the love that we let go?

There are people searches and directories that you can search
through but with over 5 billion people in the world. There are
companies who specialize in finding lost family, friends and
even loved ones. They are somewhat different than private
investigators specializing in tracking by means of bank accounts
and IRS information, etc. These people tracking companies use
means that we don’t have at our disposal like time, which is a
shrinking commodity. There are some “what ifs” that can be
erased with second chances given to us by those who can find our
lost loves, friends and family. The person that you are trying
to find may very well be looking for you too. It would really be
a shame to spend your life without the ones you love when you
could have enjoyed them the whole time.

Experience life and the fullness granted by doing all you can to
succeed in family, profession and love. Each holds unspeakable
value as we look back at the memories we have created with the
ones we share our lives with. If you are feeling a void in your
life due to a past relationship that you want rekindled then
take charge of your life, find them and being your life again
with the ones you love at your side.

When you buy natural health supplements it is important to ensure that you buy quality products. Whatever sort of remedy or supplement you are looking for, you should never compromise on the quality, even if it means paying slightly more. In order to ensure that a supplement or remedy is effective as well as safe - whether you are taking it to ease arthritis or some other disorder or simply to boost your health in general - it should meet certain standards. If you buy natural health supplements that are of lower quality you could find them ineffective or even unsafe.

The best way to buy natural health supplements is online, and this is for a number of reasons. Firstly, you can enjoy far more choice online, which means that you stand a far better chance of getting high quality dietary supplements or natural remedies for health care. You can also get some fantastic prices online, enabling you to get the perfect supplement for your needs without breaking the bank. In addition to all this, you can enjoy fast and convenient delivery right to your door, so you won’t even have to leave the home in order to get your supplements.

Buying Supplements - Why You Need To Look For Quality

So, why is it so important to go for quality over price? Well, in short the cheaper supplements that offer lower quality could end up having little to no effect, which means that you could be wasting your money altogether. Buying the higher quality supplements means that you can enjoy the benefits in safety. And if you look out for special deals on the cost of these supplements, you could get them at a knock down price anyway.

For its East Coast Premiere, “The Way Back Home” found its way back home. Written by and starring Central Florida native Michael H. King, filmed in the Sanford and Orlando areas, and produced by a mostly Central Florida crew, “The Way Back Home” is part of a showcase for local films in the 2006 Florida Film Festival.

Executive producer Ralph Clemente decided to go ahead with the production of this independent film even after one of its stars, Julie Harris, suffered a heart attack, stroke, and serious car accident one right after the other. In fact, Clemente had the script re-written to accommodate the actress.

“I had worked with Julie Harris before on another film, “The First of May,” and knew she was an extremely talented actress,” he says. “Julie requested that we rewrite the character as someone who had survived a stroke. She hadn’t done any acting in a couple of years because of her health, and had been in heavy therapy ever since. Her assistant said that making this movie with us was the best therapy she could have ever received.”

The actress is the most honored performer in Tony history, with 10 nominations, five wins, and a lifetime achievement award. In the film, Harris plays Jo McMillen, a loving grandmother, good friend to Maude (Ruby Dee), and owner of a beautiful house designated as a historical landmark. Nearly a year after her stroke, her grandson Spencer Krane (King) comes to visit her from New York. Heavy emotional baggage accompanies him on the journey.

“We were lucky to get Ruby Dee and Julie Harris,” Clemente says. “The two ladies wanted to work together, so we managed to get them both. It’s the first time they’ve ever worked on a film with each other.”

He says that because of Harris’ medical condition, the crew would often worry about her, sometimes even feeding her lines when she would hesitate or stammer. “She would turn to them and say, ‘I’m acting,’” Clemente says. “Her acting was amazing; it’s no wonder she’s a legend.”

Directing the film is another legend in the business, 75-year-old Reza Badiyi, who was recognized by the Director’s Guild of America for having directed more hours of dramatic television (416) than anyone in the history of television. His many directing credits include “Baretta,” “Mission Impossible,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” So it’s no surprise that “The Way Back Home” feels more like a made-for-TV family drama than an edgy independent film.

Although Clemente concedes that “the film will certainly appeal to the over-60 set,” the central story concerns the grandson’s escape back home to a small town in Florida from his high-pressured attorney job in the big city. After his grandmother’s illness and a family crisis with his Broadway actress wife, he goes home and reacquaints himself with the grandmother who raised him.

“There are younger people in the cast and this should increase the appeal to a younger audience,” Clemente says. “He tries to go back to his roots and refresh his soul although we don’t really find out why until later in the movie.”

King co-produced the film along with Paul Sirmons and Alan Lilly. Post production specialist Oliver Peters worked on the many flashbacks that slowly reveal Spencer’s spiritual conflicts. Deezer D, Danny Nucci, Tessie Santiago, Robert Scott, and Amy Landers appear as the simple, small-town folks he left behind, while Mina Badie plays his troubled wife, Faith.

The lush Florida landscape, including calm lakes, lonely country roads, roaming alligators during mating season, late afternoon thunder showers, and native plants and flowers also play supporting roles in the film.

A joint effort between Back Home Productions, Inc. and Valencia Community College’s Film Production Technology program, “The Way Back Home” had student crews working alongside seasoned professionals.

“The director, producer, D.P., art director, editor, script supervisor, gaffers, and camera operators are all professionals,” according to Clemente, director of the college’s program. “These people essentially become free faculty to my students. There’s a tremendous learning opportunity there that money just can’t buy.”

Leslie Halpern is the author of “Reel Romance. The Lovers’ Guide to the 100 Best Date Movies” (Taylor Trade Publishing), a book that reviews date movies for couples and suggests romantic ideas inspired by these films. A Central Florida-based entertainment writer, Leslie also wrote “Dreams on Film. The Cinematic Struggle Between Art and Science” (McFarland & Company) and more than a thousand articles in trade and consumer magazines.

What is the ideal golfing trip?

For some golfers the ideal outing would be going to a major
course and getting to play on it, knowing professional golfers
had played over this same course.

What golfer would not want to play the course where the Master’s
or U.S. Open is held?

Most would almost kill (figuratively speaking) for the chance.

These are courses where legends have played - players such as
Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods. (Yes, Woods can be considered a
legend of golf based simply on the fact he has won so many
tournaments at such a young age.)

For others, though, the ideal golfing is not so much where they
play as to the weather conditions. Some golfers prefer a day
with mild temperatures and a light breeze to help keep them
cool, while others want a challenge and will go to the extremes
weather-wise.

There are those who will play when the temperature hits triple
digits, or drops well below freezing, just to see how well they
play under these circumstances.

And, there are golfers who will play in the snow and at night.
Specially designed golf balls have been created for these
golfers.

The night players can chase their glow-in-the-dark golf balls
all over the course, but need to take a flashlight to prevent
running into a tree or some other hazard on the course. For
those who play in the snow, fluorescent golf balls were created.
These brightly colored balls are easy to see against the
snow-covered course.

Either way, golfing in the extreme is a challenge, and not one
for the faint of heart, or the poor of play. For golfers who
play in extreme heat, they need to remember to bring plenty of
water to drink and leave all alcoholic beverages alone.

Those who play in the cold should have something warm to drink
in a thermos to help keep their body temperature up, even if
they are walking the course. But, these people tender to
consider this to be ideal golf outings.

For most golfers, though, the ideal golf outing is simply the
chance to go to their favorite course with a few friends and
chase golf balls all over the pasture, just having a good time
and not taking the game too seriously.

This is the most prevalent type of golfer, and these players can
usually be found playing in couples and foursomes. They will
chide one another on a bad shot, while complimenting one another
on good shots and putts. The final score rarely matters (unless
they tend to be serious golfers), as they are on the links to
have a good time and get away from the stresses of every day
life.

Oddly enough, there are golfers who prefer to play the game by
themselves. The solo golfer will most likely walk the course,
getting to know the feel of every tee box, fairway and green
with his or her feet.

Whether you’re looking to travel to new courses every chance you
get, to find extreme challenges, hoping to improve your game, or
just enjoy the drive, the putt and the satisfaction of a
completed round of golf, it’s up to you to define your ideal
golfing experience. All that’s left after that is to go out and
make it happen.
