Romantic Movies That’ll Make You Laugh

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Romance is serious business. Or is it?

Which do you think your husband would choose if put to the test:

a.) Watch the beautiful tearjerker movie, The Notebook
b.) Do anything that doesn’t involve watching The Notebook

My answer is easy. My husband would opt for a root canal rather than sitting through a movie like The Notebook or Terms of Endearment. Now don’t get me wrong. That doesn’t mean he’s not romantic. The man loves deeper than I could describe. He’s simply not a fan of traditional ‘romance movies’.

Our date nights usually involve Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Owen Wilson, or Jim Carrey. Those men don’t know this, but they’re a huge part of what makes our marriage such a joy. The fact that our date nights consist of a fun movie instead of a forced moment means that my husband is happy and relaxed - two very good things for romance.

Are you looking for a lighthearted fun romantic movie that both you and your husband will enjoy? Here are some of our favorites.

The Princess Bride (1987)
“Is this a kissing book?” The Princess Bride is the story of a woman who is being forced to marry a cold, evil prince, while her true love tries to stop the wedding.

I don’t know how many times I tried to get my husband to watch this movie until finally I just put the movie in, clicked ‘play’, and hid the remote. It’s now one of his favorite movies. He likes it because of the comedy and the fighting. I love it because it’s just a joy to watch.

Groundhog Day (1993)
After reluctantly going to cover Punksatawney Phil for Groundhog Day, a weatherman gets stuck living the same day repeatedly.

This is one of my husband’s all-time favorite movies. Plus, if your husband is a fan of Caddyshack, he’ll appreciate Bill Murray battling a rodent once again.

The Wedding Singer (1998)
Robbie, the wedding singer and Julia, the waitress are both engaged to be married but to the wrong people.

Any man who remembers the 80s will thoroughly enjoy this. And, every woman will be teary-eyed when Robbie sings “Grow Old with You” at the end.

Love Actually (2003)
This movie portrays eight stories of love. It shows romantic love, as well as love of a father for his son, love between siblings, and love of friendship. It’s a beautiful story that shows that Love Actually is All Around. It’s funny on so many levels, but also deeply touching.

Romance doesn’t need to be serious. It can be fun! Just enjoy each other. Now go grab a funny movie, snuggle up with your hubby and enjoy.

Nicole Dean invites you to www.RomanceYourHusband.com, a website dedicated to helping married couples stay friends and to help them remember why they married each other in the first place. Our disclaimer is: If he’s a jerk, this won’t work. But, if he’s sweet, rub his feet.

What You Should Know before Purchasing Bedding - Amusing

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Till some years back bedding used to be made from white cotton cloth. nowadays there is a diversity of such bedding stocked up in stores and you are actually spoilt for choice. Nobody had considered that bedding could be made using such beautiful pastel shades and several fabrics.

Following are some factors that matter a lot when you purchase a bed sheet.

Calculate the beds dimensions

Though we are all aware what a twin or king or queen size bed is, what many of us dont know is that there are no general dimensions for these beds. Besides the top measurings, all the rest can be unique depending on the brand name. The bottom line is that you need to estimate the height, width, breadth of the bed and also check how thick the mattress is. Often similar beds from the same brand are longer or wider than each other. It is always better to be ready with your beds dimensions prior to shopping.

Decide from where to buy

You will find a lot of top names in bed linen available in a departmental shop near you. Those looking for embroidered bed sheets or lavish looking sheets can purchase them from a specialty storehouse. The Internet is brimming with fresh new patterns every day. For those who still love their cotton fiber sheets, a discount shop is where you should travel to.

Acquaint yourself with thread count in

A thread count refers to the amount of threads carried in one square inch of the bedsheet in both directions of the weave. You will find this thread count on the bed sheets label. For a luxurious feel, a high thread count is desirable. However do not go for a very high thread count as it entails the singular threads are light and may not give the desired cozy feeling. For the right soft feel, a thread count of 175 to around 300 is fine.

Choose the bedsheet cloth.

You need to choose such material for your bed sheets which fits in your budget and is comfortable at the same time. Though cotton fiber is the most preferred material, some people go for the cotton blends as they do not crease. For a warm cocoon around you, flannel is best in winter. Then there is the all time favorite silk, satin or microfiber that offers luxury.

Follow washing tips

Read the wash and care instructions for the sheets properly before buying them. Silk bed sheets are stunning and romantic, but they need a weekly dry cleaning job. Can you promise to do this? The best way is to buy comfortable sheets that can be machine washed.

Hope these six steps lead you to finding a perfect bed sheet for your bed.

Sports Betting Profile

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Before you go out and blow all your weekly wages on sports betting there are a few things that you need to know about the type of gambler you are and how much is too much risk.

If you can figure out which type of gambler you are you’ll be sure to either walk away with no losses, walk away with a nice profit, or always walk away empty handed.

Here are the 5 types of gamblers profile

1. Ego Bettor Only out to satisfy their ego, and a little reckless with money. Just out to win big and get the big win ego

2. The Social Bettor This bettor sees that all their friends are betting on the same team they’ll also give it a go. No knowledge of the team just purely for fun. Win or loose its all the same

3. The Gambler This is the ultimate addict. The love of risking it all and the love of betting will keep the gambler always betting.

4. The Strategist They will tend to analyse stats and player profile and make sure they hedge themselves so they always make money or breakeven.

5. The Big Spender Betting only for profit. Using strategies that will make money but not just money but big money. A cross between the strategist and the gambler.

The most common gamblers profile is 1, 2, 3, and 4. And unfortunately they are the ones that don’t make the most wins and are not as consistent.

There are numerous ways to improving your betting skills. For example with sports betting understand how the team your betting on plays, who’s their coach, what’s their winning percentage, how many major tournaments have they won?

Another way to improve your betting is by searching the internet. There are numerous articles and websites dedicated to give you betting strategies and tips. However if you’re a little more serious than the average better you might want to search for programs or short courses that you can buy from around $40. Some of these courses actually teach you strategies that professional sports betters use when playing the game.

It’s not about always winning, its about keeping it consistant and understanding your risk and rewards. The most successful better are experienced and have most likely learned from someone with lots of experience.

In conclusion if you want to better yourself at sports betting go out there and find a suitable course you can buy and start studying and practising. You don’t even have to bet with real money when you’re starting of. You can what we call in the stock market industry “paper trade.” Just set your bets watch the game and do this numerous times to see if you have a betting system that makes you money. Happy punting and good luck.

Beginners Guide to Betting Hall Taking a Risk: the Pastimes of Luck Betting Devotees Enjoying Taking Part in

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

In case you don’t comprehend gambling house wagering, read on…

casino bonus central

By general definition a betting hall is a structure that focuses on games. Clients are expected to take a chance handling slot machines or another betting games. Gambling house games as a rule include 100% determined odds incorporated which maintain that the gambling saloon preserves an edge above the gambling enthusiasts. A legion of betting house games may cause you to get habituated very rapidly. Let’s reflect on the simple slot machine, a coin eating contraption with 3+ cogs which gyrate when a crank on its side is operated. The instrument customarily will compensate punters correlating with a run of symbols discernible on the lit panel of the instrument. Sadly, betting hall pastimes will convey the fallacy of domination, effectively conning the gambling buff — the victim is given some options, but in reality these can never truly level the player’s overall odds. That is caused by the the casino not paying up the full sum as expected. This arrangement is notoriously noticeable in well known casino games like Texas hold’em, dice games, roulette or blackjack.

Five-card stud is indisputably an incredibly fashionable casino game. The customers, holding partially concealed cards, are placing bets into a central pot which is bestowed onto the prevailing participant carrying the best hand. (And yes, the bluffing hand can easily win as well.) Quite like five card stud, blackjack too is a very trendy casino pastime. A lavish amount of its repute is caused by its peculiar mix of chance and expertise & decision making, as well as a method dubbed “card counting”. This is a pretty sophisticated gambling tactics by which gambling devotees can bend the probabilities of the card game to their personal gain by both betting and systematic decisions correlating with the cards dealt. Craps is a famous gambling hall wagering game involving the throw of two dice. Visitors may make bets on the score of 1 roll, or on a succession of cycles on 2 dice. In contrast to blackjack, there is no conceivable bona fide winning strategy you can capitalize on to beat the odds. Roulette is an eminently popular casino game; a croupier twists a roulette wheel which holds thirty seven (applies to classical roulette) or thirty-eight (in the case of Vegas roulette) independently tagged places in which the tossed pellet will then come to lie, thereby announcing the winning number Whenever the gamer wagers on a specific number and is successful so he’s indeed lucky, the set remuneration will be thirty-five to 1, the wager is given back. Therefore in totality the initial stake is multiplied by a factor of thirty-six.

Please try to be emphatically on guard under all circumstances because most all of gaming room gambling pastimes should be considered exceedingly habit forming. Countless lives have indisputably been spoilt in the course of gambling and despite the fact that it surely can be enjoyable, aspire to govern your gaming.

League One Betting Review - 19 February 2006

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

A hat trick from Fredy Eastwood kept Southend United the summit of League One after beating promotion rivals Chesterfield 4-3 at the Recreation Ground. Eastwood’s penalty after 52 minutes cancelled out Colin Larkin’s opener and his second four minutes later put the Shrimpers into the lead. The Spireites came back and lead 3-2 before veteran Shaun Goater levelled for Southend. A sublime 25 yard free kick from Eastwood seven minutes from time gifted Steve Tilson’s side a vital win at 13/8.

Hudersfield maintained their promotion charge with a 5-0 drubbing of basement club MK Dons. First half goals from Martin McIntosh, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Jon Worthington and second half strikes from David Mirfin and Michael Collins ensured the 6/10 Terriers were the safest bet of the day.

Swansea stuttered at Scunthorpe, with the home side netting an equaliser two minutes into stoppage time. The Iron took a sixth minute lead through Billy Sharp but an Andy Robinson penalty and Leon Knight goal put the Swans in front. With a 6/4 away victory on the cards, former Swansea striker Steve Torpey headed in a last gasp equaliser.

Nottingham Forest started life without Gary Megson positively by recording their first away win since August at Port Vale. Kris Kommons after 40 minutes and Nathan Tyson with moments remaining secured a morale boosting 21/10 victory.

Walsall slipped into the bottom three and closer towards relegation as Oldham hit two goals in two second-half minutes. Luke Beckett opened the scoring for the 9/5 Latics on 72 minutes with Paul Warne scoring shortly after.

Rotherham maintained their good run of form with a crucial 3-2 win away at fellow strugglers Swindon. Two Martin Butler goals and one from Shaun Barker cancelled out strikes from Jamie Cureton and Sean O’Hanlon to secure an unlikely 3/1 win.

The Art of Motorcycle Obstacle Avoidence

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

We all assume a certain level of risk when we ride our motorcycles. Our main concern is usually the 4000 pound SUV crossing in-front of us at an intersection. The driver oblivious to our existence as they chat on their cell phone. That being said, another risk motorcyclists encounter is the Road Hazard. By road hazard I mean, obstacles such as, speed bumps, potholes, debris. Debris such as gravel, solid objects that have fallen off the construction truck in front of you. If that was not enough, consider road kill, now add in a freaked out deer or a kamakazi squirrel or rabbit. It makes you wonder why we ride at all. But that is another topic I will address relating to the start of it all, the book “Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance”. But I digress.

Alright, having given you all the obstacle hazards you WILL encounter on your ride, how do you effectively prepare and react to such hazards. Let me take you back to school for a second and refresh you on the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s SEE method. What is see again? Search, Evaluate, Execute. If you use the searching and evaluating effectively this can help you avoid the obstacles mentioned above. Ok, class is over. Now for some real world tips.

* Practice your quick-reaction counter steering. How? Well you can go to a vacant parking lot and place some coke cans out and as you get close, practice your quick obstacle avoidence countersteer to swerve around the object without braking. The idea being that the bike is agile and can avoid an object. The alternative is to apply full-braking power and hope physics is on your side. I also will you man-hole covers for this practice. Of course in very light traffic. Keeps you fresh.

* Do not tail gate the cager in front of you. I just learned this last week. There was a 2 by 4 in the road, I was too up the guys butt in front of me for me to effectively see the board in time and hit it. All turned out ok for me, but if it were something larger or roadkill, it might have resulted in an accident. Not good. If you don’t have to run over it don’t. Once I hit a small piece of tin, like a flattened soda can, well all this did was kick up and scratch up my fender. Still not good. The zen of riding was kicked in so much, I forgot to look for obstacles.

* Now if you have time to react and you are unable to avoid the object, be sure to:

* slow as much as time and traffic will permit.

* approach the obstacle at a 90 degree angle. Most commonly when you encounter railroad tracks that are offset or uneven pavement.

* rise slightly off the seat and shift your weight rearward, ease off of the throttle. Why? you do not want power applied to the rear wheel when it encounters the object. Once you have the bike stable and free of the obstacle, resume seated, If it was a hard impact you should pull over and check for damage.

* For handling live critter avoidence. If you see the critter and have time to slow down, do so. Be mindful of traffic behind you. With dogs, it is best to slow, then if the dog is making a b-line for you, increase throttle and wave bye bye to bruno. For deer, this is the worse case, they are skittish giant rats with antlers — most of them. It is best to slow as much as possible until you are past. There are several aftermarket deer warning devices you could install. I have one, it makes a high-tone like a dog whistle. Does it work? dunno, all I do know is that it is annoying. Thank God for the optional on/off switch. Funny thing is, I installed this on my cruiser instead of the ZZR1200.

* Here is a somewhat related obstacle avoidance tip, water on the painted road symbols spells disaster. I avoid these things at all cost. I also am mindful of intersections. When it rains this hits all of the dropped oil from the cars and makes for a real slick surface. So be mindful of where you put your foot down and place your tires. It is best to stay in the tire tracks to avoid the Valdez like spills. Most motorcyclists will drop there bikes in these situations. For me I went to put my foot down to park, and I encountered some cherry seeds from the nearby tree, well out went my foot, and down goes the 500 pound bike and my ego.

In conclusion, I hoped to have provided some useful tips on basic obstacle avoidence. I strongly believe it is not the number of years that you have ridden a motorcycle, it is your experience and skillful use of the machine that really matter.
