You may be thinking that this is the way you want your wedding to be done, but in the end this way will usually be worse on you then if you did the entire wedding yourself.
No matter how well you think you have planned things, some things will inevitable go wrong.

To help cut down the frustration and arguments that will arise over these things here are a few things that I learned when planning my wedding that may be helpful to you.

The List:

The first thing that needs to be done is you need make a list of people you wish to have at your wedding. You can not book a hall if you have no idea how many people you are planning on having at your wedding.

The bride, the groom and the parents of each should make a list of all the people they need to invite. Make sure this list includes even people you want to invite but will not show up. Make a note next to each name that you are fairly sure will show up. Your aunt from 2 towns over will probably show up but that friend from college who lives across the country who you barley ever talk to anymore will probably not show up. This list can be used to decide on how big a wedding hall you will need and how many invitations you need to order.

The Wedding Hall:

Your wedding is a very special day and choosing the place to have it is also very important because this is where all the memories of your wedding will be. Make sure you talk to friends and co workers and ask for suggestions. Even your single friends may have been to a wedding somewhere and can tell you about it. And the internet and the phone book are priceless at this stage in the wedding plans.

Make sure you go see as many different places as you can, some places will require you to make an appointment to see their facilities and others may want you to come during an event so you get to see the place decorated and some you can just show up, so call first so you do not waste your time have to go back to a place more then once.

Invitations:

Once you have an idea of how many people you need to invite and you have booked a hall and gotten a date for the wedding it is time to order Invitations. The printer you choose to make your invitations is important. Just like everything else go to more then one printer before making a choice.

For my own wedding we designed our cards and the printer was careless and placed them on top of each other with wet ink and we wound up with 200 invites that we needed to return, and then they used the wrong color ink on the second batch so we had to return those also.

The printer should be able to show you exactly what the invitations will look like on the computer, and do not accept them if they do not look perfect. If they tell you that they can not show you what it will look like until they have printed one out then you are dealing with a printer with old machines and in my opinion you will be safer with another printer who has more modern equipment.

Music:

Many people still use a live band but DJ's are becoming more and more popular. Whatever you choose do to for your wedding make sure you go see the DJ or the band play live before hand. The music is one of the most important parts of the Wedding. People go to a wedding to help you celebrate your marriage and they want to get drunk, eat well and dance.

Photography:

Over the next 40 or 50 years the memories of the wedding may fade but the pictures will always be there to remind you of that special day in your life. Since many brides like to have the photographer around while they have their hair and makeup done it is important to have someone there who helps create a fun atmosphere. The day of your wedding you will be nervous that things are going to go wrong and having someone around taking pictures of you does not help, but if the photographer has a good personality it can help put the bride at ease a bit.

Hair and Makeup:

It is not only important to interview many different hair and makeup people, but make sure you get names and phone numbers of former clients. The person may do beautiful hair but if they tend to show up late it is best to go with someone else.

My wives makeup person came 45 minutes late and because of that we did not have enough time to go to the shore with the photographer for a few pictures, before the sun went down.

On your wedding day things need to go according to a schedule and making sure the people you hire are trustworthy is very important.

The only other advice I can give you is that no matter how hard you plan people who said they could not come will change their minds last minute, people who you have sat together in your table chart will get into a fight and wont want to site together, so just remember that once you kiss the bride the stress all fades away.

Make sure you take some time to enjoy your wedding; it is probably the best party you will ever throw.

Bird 1988

Bird was the nickname of the great jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker. Bird is also the title of the biopic that was directed by Clint Eastwood on Bird who has been struggling for wide recognition of his music as well as fighting with his self destructive tendencies until his death in the early age of 34. However, the movie avoids depicting the cliche of the rise and fall of the drug addict musician. Mainly thanks to Eastwood whose love of jazz is evident in every scene of the 160 minutes feature. Talented Forest Whitaker plays an excellent leading role of Bird.

Charlie Parker fans do not need this recommendation, but they would probably appreciate the fact that the film soundtrack features original recording by Bird. Those who have seen documentaries about Parker would enjoy the great preparation work Whitaker has done for the role. Fans of Clint Eastwood tougher filmography would not be disappointed either, since Bird is definitely one of the best, if not the finest, movies directed by Eastwood.

Round Midnight 1986

The character of Dale Turner, whose relationship with a young French fan sets the plot of Bertrand Tavernier film of 1986, was inspired by several jazz legends such as Lester Young, Bud Powell and more. The great jazz saxophonist Dexter Gordon donated his personal experiences and acquaintances with the jazz world to create the role of the troubled jazz saxophonist who leaves his homeland and moves to Paris in a search of admiration. In Paris, Turner meets Francis Borler a local fan who becomes his caretaker who successfully helps him in his struggle with alcoholism, drug abuse, depression and trouble making.

Regardless to your taste in music, Round Midnight is an optimistic film that celebrates the love of people and the power of music. Unless your heart is made of stone, you cannot watch the scene in which Borler observes Turner from the other side of the road as he orders orange juice in a cafe without shedding a tear. Jazz fans would be happy to know that Herbie Hancock is responsible for the Academy Award winning music score.

Mo Better Blues 1990

A talented trumpeter who cannot make the right decisions in both his professional and personal life is in the center of Spike Lees 1990 film. Denzel Washington plays the role of the fictional New York trumpeter Bleek Gilliam who tangles with two girlfriends, Joie Lee and Cynda Williams, a competitive saxophonist, Wesley Snipes, who aims to take over the quartet he heads, and a manager, Spike Lee, with gambling problems.


As the son of the appreciated Jazz bass player, Bill Lee, Spike Lee was born and raised into the world of jazz. However, Mo Better Blues focuses mainly on Bleak personal issues. If you are expecting unusual insights, you might be disappointed but it still quality entertainment with excellent acting and good music. Bill Lee took care of the music score that includes music by Miles Davis, Branford Marsalis, Abbey Lincoln and other contemporary jazz musicians.


Bottom line, you do not have to be a fan of jazz to enjoy a good movie as much as you do not have to be an android to appreciate a good sci fi film. Whether you are a jazz fan or you fall asleep each time you hear the sound of an alt sax, the three movies recommended above are worth watching.

On the other hand, if you find yourself with a thoughtless roommate with dubious hygiene and or eating habits, living with a roommate can be a pain in the ass. However, taking the right consideration in advance would enable you to enjoy the benefits of living with a roommate and to avoid the downsides of it.

Usually, disputes and disagreements between roommates are unavoidable. By choosing the most suitable roommate as possible, you can at least minimize their influence on your daily life. The perfect roommate is the silent and invisible one who cleans after himself and pays the bills on time. Since perfect roommates are rare, it seems like you would have to compromise. The question is: how low can you go?


Do you mind living with a roommate whose cleaning skills are far from being excellent?
How much will it bother you a roommate who runs an unquiet lifestyle, such as hosting frequent dinner parties, listening to music out loud, banging the drums, etc?
What about a roommate who lives in an opposite time zone than you are?
A much younger or older roommate?
A roommate who owns pets?
A roommate whose significant other makes too frequent visits?
A roommate of the opposite sex?
If you are a non smoker: can you share an apartment with a smoking roommate?
If you are vegetarian or vegan: can you share a kitchen with a carnivore?

Answering the questions listed above would help you figure out your priorities. Next, here are the three most important qualities you should look for in potential roommates.
Compatibility a person whose lifestyle is similar to yours would make a better roommate. For example, if you are an early riser, you will have a hard time living with a night owl. It is especially important when it comes to cleanliness, which is one of the most common causes to disputes. A person who is as tidy or as messy as you are, would make a better roommate than someone who would go wacko each time you leave a dirty plate at the kitchen sink or someone whose idea of cleaning is spraying the apartment with a deodorant.
Reliability choosing a roommate is more like picking a business partner rather than making a new friend. A good chemistry is always an advantage and it will be easier to solve problems with a likeable person. However, the bottom line is that you do not have to like your roommate but you must trust your roommate. Since you will be sharing not only the rent but also gas, electricity, phone and other bills, it is important to have a roommate who is not turning senile each time a bill reaches your shared mailbox.
Openness your roommate has to be someone you can talk to. Not necessarily hearty conversation; you should be able to feel comfortable to approach them directly any time you have problem or complaint related to your shared household. If you manage to establish an open and honest relationship with your roommate, any future arguments and misunderstanding would be settled at ease without damaging the overall atmosphere.

Fold: in other words, do not play each and every hand just for to experience poker action. Holding to a low starting hand is probably the most common poker beginner's mistake. Take the bother to learn poker starting hands and know when to foldem and when to holdem. You cannot believe the amount of money losses it will save you.

Fold during the last betting rounds: maybe the second most common poker beginners mistake is to stick to the game simply because you have come this far. If you have even the slightest shadow of a doubt about your chances of taking home the pot, fold your cards and protect your bankroll from bigger losses.

Fold when you are not in the mood: another common mistake that would ruin your game and take your bankroll with it is playing when you are nervous, irritated or simply not in the mood to play poker. It will hurt your ability to concentrate on the game and to make the right decisions, which would eventually cause you to lose.
Read your opponents: if you took the previous advice and folded, use your free time to watch your opponents as they play. Follow their facial expressions, try to recognize their playing patterns; it would teach you how to play against them in future games.

Keep track of the cards on the table: although as a beginner paying attention to your dealt cards is a big enough effort, keeping track of the cards placed on the board is crucially important. It provides you the information on your chances of forming strong hands as well as about your opponent's opportunities.

Choose a game according to your skill level: do not jump right into professional no limit tournaments if your only experience includes outplaying some of your drunken roommates in college. Take one step at a time: begin with low limit tables, preferably with loose players and move forward when you feel you are up to a higher skill level.
Choose a game according to your budget: simply said: do not play on money you cannot afford to lose. Even if you feel that your skills improved significantly, and even if you know that your opponents are novice players, do not play games, in which the stakes are out of your budget.
Play sober: know your alcohol limits as well as the limits of your budget. Playing winning poker requires a lot of concentration, which immediately vanishes once you had one too many beers.

Take it easy: though competitiveness is what drives poker, do not forget it is a still a game and that you are here first and foremost to have fun. Whether you win or lose, do not lose your temper, insult your opponents or do anything else to damage the playing atmosphere

Before you begin with all the planning arrangements, it is important to note that surprise parties are not appreciated by everyone. Therefore, do not waste your time and energy on throwing a surprise party to someone who would feel uncomfortable being the guest of honor is a surprise party or would simply prefer an intimate gathering to a crowded party. The first tip, then, is to find the right guest of honor who would appreciate the surprise and will be able to enjoy being the star of a surprise party.

After naming the perfect victim who would enjoy being shouted SURPRISE!!! , you can to start making the plans for the surprise party. Here are some tips for planning a surprising surprise party:
Start with choosing a date for the party; find a discrete and casual way to verify that the chosen day will be convenient to the guest of honor.
If it is possible, schedule the surprise party earlier than the exact date of the honoree birthday, anniversary, or any other reason to party .
Nominate one of your common friends to accompany the guest of honor to a certain fake activity. Since he or she would be the ones to lead the surprised into his own surprise party, they should not be of the type who cannot keep a secret and or hide their emotions.
In order to strengthen the reliability of the alibi, you can occasionally mention to the party guest of honor your alleged plans at the date of the surprise party. Moreover, guide the other guests to make up some fake plans for the certain time and date in case asked by the honoree.
Whether you are sending invitations by mail, email or orally, mention clearly that it is planned to be a surprise party. One slip and all your surprising efforts go down the drain…
Unless the honoree thinks he is on his way to a party with all of his friends, instruct the guests to park their cars out of sight, if he might recognize them.
In addition, ask the guests to arrive at least half an hour before the guest of honor is due to arrive.

If you follow this guidance and the guests can practice keeping a secret for a while, there is no reason that the surprise party would fail. Bottom line, if the party is planned right, the guest of honor and the party guests will enjoy the food, drinks and the pleasant company regardless to the success of the element of surprise.

Lottery players will come up with what they feel is their lucky numbers and they will play them every week in hopes of one day winning the lottery and making all their dreams come true.

With all the people in the world you would think there would be millions of different ways to pick your personal lucky numbers, but most people actually do the exact same things to pick their lucky numbers.

The most common way to pick your lucky numbers is to pick your birth date and the dates of your friends of family. For example if your birth date is 11-05-1971 you may use 11-05-19-71. Parents will usually use the dates of their children.

Another popular way to get your lucky numbers is to read your weekly horoscope. This can usually be found in your local newspaper, but if you do not get the paper or your paper does not offer you horoscopes or lucky numbers then you can check them online.

I actually meet someone who wrote numbers from 1 to 99 on little pieces of paper and picked 6 numbers from the hat. She played those numbers for years. Then one day she was in a car accident and was hospitalized and she was unable to get her lottery ticket, and 4 out of 6 of her numbers were picked. She would not have won millions but it could have been worth a few hundred had she been able to buy her lottery ticket that week.

Now that you have your lucky numbers here are some tips on how to improve your chances of winning.

Make sure to play your lucky numbers every week. The chances of you winning increase every time you play your lucky numbers because chances are you are closer to them winning then the time before.

Don’t just play them in the state lottery. You can also play lottery type games in casinos and online casinos. its called Keno, and it is exactly like the lottery except instead of once or twice a week a new game starts every 5 minutes 24 hours a day 7 days a week. As a matter of fact the odds of winning the jackpot at keno are much higher then in the state sponsored lottery.
The jackpots in keno go up depending on how much money you spend per game. There are many different games and the more they cost the less numbers you get to choose but the jackpots can be anywhere from 1 to 5 million dollars.

Unlike the lottery in keno you can pick your lucky numbers and pay for multiple games, instead of having to fill out a form for each game. Then you are free to go about your business in the casino maybe play some table games or the slot machines. Later you can return to the keno area and they can run your ticket thru the computer and pay you for any wins you may have had.

To avoid being instantly marked as the fish make sure not only appear as if this is not your first time in a texas holdem poker room in a casino but that you are there often. Make sure no matter how impressed by the place you are, you appear as if this is just another day playing texas holdem in the casino. If your skills at texas holdem will not allow you to go unnoticed then pick another game like roulette or blackjack.


Make sure you know how to play. Do not come into a casino poker room to thinking you will learn Texas Holdem as you play. This is not Uno it is Texas Holdem Poker and played for real money. I promise you that before you learn the game this way you will be broke and homeless. You should learn to play at home with friends or online in free money poker games against others or against the computer. Then as you improve start to play in online poker rooms for money.


If you were a spy trying to infiltrate into Russia during the cold war the CIA would have you trained on how to speak Russian and the proper idioms and accent as well so that you blend is as a local, well texas holdem has its own language as well and if you want to blend in as an experienced player you have to know the language as a native speaker. This means understanding what others are saying and being able to use the common expressions correctly in normal conversation. Not laughing at a joke because you did not understand it will make you stand out and some people are bound to notice and figure out you are not all you seem to be.


You may have seen people playing Texas Holdem on television dressed with advertisements for poker tournaments and poker related products and if you go to some stores you can buy this type of apparel. Do not let yourself think that you can go into a casino dressed like this and get away with it. The people on TV are paid to wear that stuff because they are professional texas holdem players and have a good chance of being seen on TV. In the casino poker room a first time player will not be on any TV except a security camera getting laughed at by the security officers as you lose all your money. No one will take you to be a real player if you are dressed like a fool.


Every player at a texas holdem poker table that spots you as the fish will then begin to focus on you till they find your tells, and believe me we all have them. It is just experience that allows some of us to hide them better then others.

In Texas Holdem Poker it also gives other players a better chance to get a read on who is trying to make what hands, by along the players to check out your reaction when a card is flipped over and what cards you keep looking at. This makes bluffing harder, because everyone knows what the card was you may or may not have reacted to. This means when the cards are turned over one at a time you can gauge what they are going for by their expression when the cards are flipped if a person has no reaction to a card you know they are not interested in that card but if someone looks from a newly flipped card then back to his cards then back again that may be a sign he is going to use that card for his hand.

The way the betting structure is designed in Texas Holdem Poker the pots grow very heavy very fast. This makes the game play fairly fast, people are constantly going broke and leaving and fresh money coming to the table. Texas Holdem has 4 different rounds and each one has its own betting round. In no limit Texas Holdem the pots can grow to over $10,000 in just a few seconds. This is part of the excitement of the game.

Since Texas Holdem Poker is the most played poker game in poker rooms all around the world it is easier to find a better class of players. This makes the game more challenging and forces you to play better every time you play it also makes it easier to find a group of people that know how to play Texas Holdem. Games like caribbean stud poker are much less popular so to find a group of people interested and knowledgeable in this poker variation is very difficult.

Another reason for the continuation of the popularity of Texas Holdem is that because of the amount of people playing the game in online casinos land casinos and even n TV there are many different high stakes Texas Holdem tournaments played all over the world and a good Texas Holdem player can make a very good living traveling around the world entering poker tournaments. The top ranked Texas Holdem professionals earn anywhere from 2 to 5 million dollars a year just to play poker. And the best of the best even get paid by sponsors to advertise poker related products.

The longer Texas Holdem Poker tops the charts of the most popular casino games the more people who are going to want to learn to lay the game and this will just make the game more popular and will ensure it will be around for a long time.
