If you heard about this and you are not quite sure what it means, then you have to know first that these kinds of games are the exact opposite of their title. Play money games are games where players actually fake playing for real money. Instead of money they have fake chips that are used to stimulate a real money poker games. The top purpose of these games is entertainment, but there is also an ulterior purpose, and that is initiating beginners in the world of internet poker.
You can find all around the world many more play money poker player than player that use real money. The main reason is the fact that many people like poker but are first trying to get better at it and have fun at the same time. Play money games have two distinct purposes: help a person understand the poker rules and help him accommodate to the poker software used for online games. But the thing they lack is an important one: also they are quite successful in teaching you poker, they fail when it comes to strategy and skills. The lack of real money makes most players play loose and just for fun so strategies are rarely applied.
If you intend to get better poker skills, then playing these games a lot is not the answer.

In a plat money game, people will do that, just for fun. The virtual money is easily given away by players, they can be quite generous, but this doesn’t make them generous with their real money too, so don’t get that impression.

Visionary Landscapes, the long awaited coffee table style book featuring thirty-one hand selected master drawings by the artist Justin Michael Jenkins, has been in the works for quite sometime. We are now proud to offer the world this 160 page full color published book through the independent publishing source, Lulu.

We have published this through our publishing division at Imaginative Pencil called Imaginative Pencil Publishing.
Visionary Landscapes fuses the insights, critiques, and reviews from various artists, critics, and scholars from all over the world with the intimate perspectives of each work by the artist himself. We collected numerous sources from around the world with regard to the style and approach of Justin and organized the book in such a way as to portray each drawing from various perspectives and also do a complete analytical reviews of the entire range of thought behind all the works. The goal of this exclusive edition is to give hidden insights that would otherwise go unnoticed by many viewers and create a collection of reviews and critiques by selected artists and scholars with a large portion of the deeper understanding coming from the artist himself. We want each reader to explore this large selection of drawings that span many collections and ranges and to become more aware of what the artist is trying to achieve both in meaning and message. Our hope is that readers will be rewarded with not only the secrets of how the artist came to certain conclusions and how he acheived them and why, but essentially the core meaning of each work will be revealed in the simplest terms by showing each drawing as a seperate analysis within the overall meaning of the book. The intimacy of the book centers on the artists deep ciritques and view points of each drawing featured which gives the reader access to the artist on a more personal level like hes in front of them explaining each work.
Book Preface
This first volume will approach the latest drawings from the studio of award-winning artist Justin Michael Jenkins with an analytical, fresh, and insightful point of view. With the help of the artist, we have compiled a small volume that will contain thirty of his most recent drawings taken from five unique collections. The artist will give us his insight into each work of art and the hidden meanings behind the symbolisms and objectivity that lie beneath the color and forms.
This book attempts to give viewers, collectors, scholars, and historians an ambitious and fresh examination into the mind, soul, and overall vision of the artist. We have collected various critics, essays, and feedback from numerous people about the approach and style of artist Justin Michael Jenkins and organized it in the pages ahead along with a gallery of works. We hope this book will give each reader a broader understanding of what the artist is trying to accomplish within the bold shapes, twisting forms, and surreal settings. We also want to shed light on the message his work tries to convey to the world.
Now that you have a basic understanding of what this book will attempt to accomplish, let’s begin our journey and exploration into the surreal, visionary, and inventive world that lies deep in the corridors of the artist’s mind with the hope of finding the truth and inspiration behind his style.

Blu Ray Disc Replication
Blu Ray Disc Replication
Many compact disc replication companies think that the Blue-ray disc is truly part of a new wave of technology that has taken over the entertainment and movie industries. Technologies such as HD-DVD use the high-resolution imagery available in the Blu-ray disc and also employ the enhanced surround sound capabilities to produce state-of-the art discs that are ready for market.
Some movie makers require the special resolution features that are accomplished with the Blue-ray disc replication process; because the Blu-ray disc has more than six times the resolution that is found in the digitally produced masters that are used in DVD’s in the movie industry. Both formats for DVD replication have been warmly greeted by moviegoers who enjoy the high-definition picture quality in the movies that they go to.
Production costs are not affected when the Blu-ray disc replication process is used in place of the standard quality DVD formats because there is a 10% price difference between Blu-ray discs and the standard DVD formats most commonly used by the entertainment industry. Blu-ray discs are designed to last more than 15 years, and the technology that is used to produce this replication technology does not get outdated so there are no replacement costs to worry about.
The Blu-ray disc replication process produces a disc that will not scratch, and is also resistant to fingerprint trails. To use DVD’s that have gone through the Blu-ray disc replication process, a customer does not need to worry about purchasing special cartridges to hold the hard coated disc. The Blue-ray disc can be used in the same manner as regular DVD’s and compact discs.
During the Blue-ray replication stages, a publisher or writer might want to place content protection on the Blu-ray disc. The Blu-ray disc offers some of the strongest methods of copy protection available today and it is suitable for use in any format. So whether you have a compact disc, DVD, or HD-DVD medium, the mandatory copy protection mechanisms that are built-in to every Blu-ray disc replication will be back up by a strict licensing procedure.
Many people who use the Blu-ray disc replication process for the products they sell choose to use the extra storage capacity on the Blu-ray disc to add special features that customers will be surprised to see when they use it for the first time. The extra capacity on the Blu-ray disc allows files to have room to expand, which gives a big boost to the high-definition picture quality on the DVD.
Video Game Systems: What Should You Buy As Your Next Video Game Console
Video Game Systems: What Should You Buy As Your Next Video Game Console
It’s not really a question of what video game system you should purchase and what’s the most expensive video game system available, but it all comes up to knowing what you want in a video game system. So, the question that you should ask and answer yourself is what are you looking for in a video game system?
First of all, before you answer this question, you have to remember that there are basically three popular video game systems available for sale in the market today. You have the PlayStation 3 by Sony, the Xbox 360 by Microsoft, and the Nintendo Wii by Nintendo. These three are the latest and some of the most advanced video game systems today. If you are planning to buy a video game system that provides plenty of fun and excitement as well as one that offers the latest titles in video games, you should get one of these video game systems.
You need to remember that each of these mentioned video game systems have unique features that will enhance your gaming experience. It is important for you to find out which feature appeals to you the most as it will really affect the way you plat the game.
For Microsoft Xbox 360, you will see that it emphasizes online gaming. Whatever game you are playing, you will notice that the way you connect to the Xbox Live is the same. Although the online feature is also available on PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 offers a more user-friendly online gaming interface. And, it also offers the Xbox Live Marketplace where you will be able to download game add ons, as well as games. Another great thing about the Xbox 360 is its wide library of games. With hundreds or even thousands of game titles available for Xbox 360, you will virtually never run out of games to play with.
Sony PlayStation 3 also offers unique features that will enhance the way you play the game. This particular video game system offers amazing graphics and it is also able to play high definition DVDs as well as the latest Blu-ray disc. Because of these features, you can easily tell why this is the most expensive video game system of the three.
However, you need to remember that expensive doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s better. It’s a matter of personal preferences.
Another great video game system is developed by Nintendo. Called the Nintendo Wii, this is probably the most interactive of the three popular video game systems available in the market today. The great thing about Wii is that it has a motion sensitive controller. So, instead of just sitting down and let your hands play, you will actually be physically active when you play with this video game system. It will get your entire body involved when playing the game. For example, if you play a tennis game in this video game system, you will actually swing your hands and move your body as if you are actually swinging a tennis racket. The same goes for playing golf in Nintendo Wii.
And, the great thing about Nintendo Wii is that this is the least expensive of the three. This is also preferred by people who want to get their family and friends to join in on the fun.
With these ideas in mind, you will be able to know which video game system you should buy for your home. Whatever you choose, you can be sure that you will have a lot of fun and completely experience something different playing with your favorite video games.
Find New Cheap Car Insurance
Find New Cheap Car Insurance
If you have saved enough money to purchase a new car, or have already spent your savings on the new car of your dreams – congratulations! There is no thrill like cruising around town in your brand new car you worked so hard for. But before you start cruising, you have to think about getting insurance for your new car – ideally, cheap insurance for your new car.
How can you get cheap insurance for your new car if you have never had a car insurance policy? Consider these three tips:
Check out the safety of your new car. Before you purchase your new car, check out the safety features. If you have already purchased your new car and it does not include certain safety features, add them. Cars with safety features are seen as less risky to insure than cars without safety features; therefore, insurance companies give cheaper car insurance quotes to drivers who own safe cars.
Ask about “spinning off” of another car insurance policy. If you have ever been on another driver’s car insurance policy, such as your parents’ car insurance policy, ask the insurance company about “spinning off” of that car insurance policy onto your own car insurance policy. You will have your own car insurance policy, and you will most likely get a cheaper premium than you would if you purchased a new car insurance policy out right.
Add yourself to another car insurance policy. If you are married, or have parents who trust your driving habits, ask if you can be added to their car insurance policy. This may raise their premiums a bit, but you can pay the difference and the difference will be much cheaper than purchasing a completely separate car insurance policy.
Remember, all states require some form of car insurance or financial responsibility. Do not risk huge fines and a suspended driver’s license by neglecting to purchase insurance for your new car.
Company Offers Help To Those Seeking To Become Legal U.S. Citizens
The U.S. Program Of Green Card, also known as USAFIS, is helping people who come from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. According to the website, the program makes 55,000 immigrant visas available through a lottery.
One Green Card winner from Tajikistan writes, “Following the advice of friends, we have registered for the American “green card lottery”. We had thought this would be very complicated, but it has not turned out to be that way. Happily, it seems we have won the card and our dream has come true to be able to live and work in America legally. Thanks to all. PS. Thank you so much for your help, empathy, and understanding.”
The State Department (DOS) holds the lottery every year, and randomly selects approximately 110,000 applicants from all qualified entries. The DOS selects the approximately 110,000 applications since many will not complete the visa process. However once 55,000 are issued or the fiscal year ends, the Diversity Visa Lottery Program (DV) program is closed. If anyone receives a visa through the program they are authorized to live and work permanently in the United States. They are also allowed to bring their spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21 to the United States, the site reports.
The annual DV lottery program provides an opportunity for potential immigrants to obtain the status as a permanent legal resident of the USA. This program runs each year and provides 50,000 “Green Cards” to applicants randomly selected in a lottery process – known as Green Card Lottery. A Green Card is a permanent residence visa and gives a person the legal right to live, work and study permanently in the United States and to enter and leave the country freely. Immigrants may work in any government, public and private job that is available. A permanent residence visa is generally good for life.
Green Card holders also receive health, education, retirement, taxation, social security and other benefits. The Green Card doesn’t affect the immigrant’s present citizenship. A Green Card holder may later apply for United States Citizenship, if desired.
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery has been established in the 1990 Immigration Act in order to give immigration opportunity to natives from countries other than the main source of immigration to the U.S.A. This official U.S. government program aims to diversify the American population by creating an immigration opportunity to under-represented ethnic groups. Application to this program is open for all individuals worldwide that fulfill the two basic entry requirements.

Get Accurate Career Information
Get Accurate Career Information
If I have learned anything in my thirty years of being a career counselor, it is that spending your life doing a career that you do not love is a waste of time. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that choosing the wrong career for you could be one of the most serious mistakes a person can ever make. Getting accurate career information is hugely important because of this.
Think about it. You will spend thirty or more years of your life working full time. That is a really long time to spend doing something that you do not absolutely love. The thing I hate seeing most is people who feel like they are tied in to a profession that they hate. I became a career counselor to help solve this problem. I love working with college students giving them proper career information that helps them to make informed decisions about career choices.
One of the most important ways to enter a career wisely is to inform yourself with accurate career information. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you discover the truth about any profession you are thinking of entering. The worst thing you can do is enter a career blindly. So take time and find ways to get career information about the careers you are considering.
One of the quickest ways to get career information is to make a meeting with a career counselor like myself. Meet with someone who is knowledgeable about many careers and who will help you find a career that fits well with who you are and with what you value. Whatever career you choose, it must be connected to something you value. It is a terrible thing to get up for work in the morning and realize that you could care less about your job and that it has no real value to the rest of the world.
You can also find great career information by doing an internship or by visiting different careers that interest you. For example, if becoming a teacher interests you, try helping out in a teacher’s classroom for a few weeks and see if it is something you’d really enjoy. You will be so glad that you took time to try something before you made a commitment to it. After all, you cannot afford to keep changing your mind about careers and end up unhappy in the process.
Get career information and be one step closer to having a career that excites you and that fits your dreams and values. There is nothing better than that.

Should You Play the Thai Lotto?
If you’ve never played Thailand’s official lotto, you might be wondering whether you should. The official lottery is drawn twice a month by the Government Lottery Office, and is one of only two forms of gambling legal in the country. However, you’re not alone: many other Thais also enjoy playing it. In fact, more than half the Thai population has won a prize in this lottery, making it a particularly popular pastime for tourists.
Unlike most lotteries, the Thai lottery is open to all residents. This means that no one is excluded from playing, and rewards are not demanded by banks or governments. Thai lottery results are released at around 5pm on lottery days, which are the first and 16th of each month, and the day after a public holiday. Winners must visit the GLO office in Bangkok to claim their prize. You should check the winning lottery results before making your investment.
Taking the lottery seriously in Thailand is a lot different than it is in the west. Many people buy lottery tickets on impulse, or simply stick to their lucky numbers. However, this is a bad idea, since it decreases your chances of winning in the future. Thai lotto is a great way to win small prizes, or even the big jackpot. However, it is important to remember that winning the lottery doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s worth sticking with it.
There are numerous reasons to play the Thai Lottery. The first is the sheer excitement it gives players. The Thai Lottery results are announced on the first and sixteenth of every month, and the next draw will be held on 16 June 2022. The winners are listed below, and you can also check the results on the official website of the Thailand Lottery. So get ready for the next big lottery draw! And, don’t forget to check back regularly to see if you’ve won!
หวยใบเขียว In 2014, the military government took power in Thailand. Lottery reforms were high on their agenda. In 2015, the government announced a maximum ticket price. Until then, tickets were sold for much more than what was legal. With the new scheme, this will increase the total number of lottery tickets by around 7-8 million. And while these are a few positive changes, it is important to remember that Thailand’s lottery is still very much a gamble.
In order to increase your chances of winning, you should know how to avoid getting cheated by lottery vendors. While the official retail price for a lottery ticket is 80 Baht, a single ticket costs about 40 baht. In Thailand, lottery tickets must be bought in pairs – you can’t buy them separately. หวยใบเขียว However, if you’re lucky, you can bargain with the vendors to get a lower price.
In Thailand, there are two types of lottery tickets – the Thai Government Lottery (TGL) and the Thai Charity Lottery (TCL). The first prize of the Thai Government Lottery (TGL), worth two million baht, is three million baht. However, winnings from the Thai Charity Lottery are taxed at 1.0%. This makes it a good option for travelers, as winning in both forms of the lottery is an excellent way to boost one’s income and make it possible for them to support charities.
Real Estate Investing: Find Out How To Succeed In The Online Real Estate Market
Real Estate Investing: Find Out How To Succeed In The Online Real Estate Market
If you are planning on indulging in real estate investing you should also consider the online real estate market that provides a novel means of buying and selling properties. To begin with, online real estate marketing will involve listing as well as advertising properties over the Internet and it also means getting maximum exposure. Best of all, it also means not having to pay any commissions to real estate brokers. And online real estate is a more convenient way of transacting business and is also a lot quicker than traditional ways of real estate investing.
Evaluate Your Property’s Value
However, before you jump into real estate investing and more particularly into the online real estate market, you would need to first evaluate the true value of your property. For this evaluation you can go online or ask a real estate agent to do the evaluation for you. Next, you need to try and use online videos, which are a wonderful way of advertising your property and a whole lot better than the traditional means of advertising.
There are two ways that you can categorize online real estate videos and these are promotional content and pod cast content with each category catering to different types of buyers and sellers.
In any case, by listing your property online you will get a wider audience for your property and so you must be prepared to get queries from many different places. There is no doubt that real estate investing in the online real estate market can be hugely profitable though at the same time it also has its fair share of associated risks, especially if you are not well conversant with online real estate.
You need to be very careful about each aspect of the online real estate deal and this means learning about the proper financing, decide whether you wish to rehab or not and also know how to hire a landlord. Fortunately, there are some websites that deal with these aspects and which allow you to take part in online discussions with others who are interested in real estate investing. In fact, you should also check out articles written on online real estate sites and even sign up for free e-newsletters pertaining to investing so that you are on top of the subject of real estate investing in the online real estate market.

You must also remember that real estate investing and online real estate involves hard work and there are no short cuts that will help you make quick money. Furthermore, because you will be dealing with people who you can’t see (at least in the beginning) you need to be very careful about divulging information without first verifying the credentials of prospective buyers and sellers. Once you get past this hurdle, you should then try and buy properties that are in a rundown condition and then repair and upgrade until it looks attractive to buyers. Also, you should look for properties that are located in places where the rentals are on the high side because in this way you can be sure that your real estate investing endeavours will pay you back good returns.
There are many online foreclosed properties’ lists that you should tap into because you can buy these properties for less money and then sell them at a higher price and thus profit from your real estate investing actions.
The online real estate market abounds with many profitable opportunities, and if you use things such as online videos and perhaps even take a course in online real estate, you will be able to profit from your real estate investing activities.
