| Article Title :: Overcoming the most Frustrating Situation on eBay |
| |
|
It's happened to the best of us.
You've been watching the auction all week, and finally you're
about to claim your prize--a rare bronze statue from the Shang
Dy dynasty. Or something just as tantalizing. You log on a few
minutes before the auction closes, and confirm that you're still
the top bidder -- no one has challenged you in several days.
You're already picturing "your" statue prominently displayed on
the living room mantelpiece, your friends green with envy as you
tell them about the great deal you got on eBay. You refresh the
page a few times, to make sure you're still #1. You even up your
bid a little just to make sure no body tries to outbid you at
the last minute.

| Article Title :: COLLECTING SHEET MUSIC |
| |
|
Why do people collect sheet music? There are several reasons
why. First and foremost, all of us have a favorite song. No
matter what walk of life you are from, you have at least one
song that brings back memories of days gone by. Whether the
memories are good or bad, the song has still become a part of
your history.
Many people collect sheet music, especially from the early
1900's, because of the beautiful artwork on the front covers.
There were many artists that worked for different music
publishing companies, and some of these artists also went on to
design for Walt Disney, and other very well known companies. If
you examine the cover of many of these old pieces of sheet
music, you will (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Basic Piano Drills (Exercises For Your Fingers) |
| |
|
Upon hearing the word piano, the very first thing that pops into
your mind is the set of black and white keys. Anybody can play
the piano believe me. You don’t necessarily need to go to music
schools or hire certified music instructors to tell you how to
pound those keys and play a song. You can be your own teacher as
long as you have the interest and the eagerness to learn then it
wouldn’t be so difficult.
All you need is a piano, song lyrics with chords and a piano
chord chart. Play any of your favorite songs on the piano just
like you do on a guitar. Learning to play the piano through
chords is not the traditional learning procedure. You will still
meet musical terms, read notes and (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Fine Print Behind Online Gambling Bonus Offers |
| |
|
If you have never opened an account with an online casino,
poker room, or sports book you may be wondering if the bonus
offers are legitimate. We are all aware of the wisdom in the
sayings, “If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably
is” or “There is no such thing as a free lunch”. So what’s the
catch? When a casino offers you $100-$1000 in free money should
you dismiss it, assuming that there are all sorts of strict
requirements, making it too difficult to achieve the pay-out?
The quick answer is no. These offers are for real and in most
cases the required terms and conditions to receive the pay-out
are typically quite easy to achieve. Some are as simple as
making small (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Hints And Tips On Scrapbooking Baby's "Firsts" |
| |
|
It is true to say that a lot of people begin to get the
scrappin’ bug after their child/children are born and usually
their first attempt at scrapbooking is making a baby album.
Having a child is one of the most important events in our lives
and baby’s first year is a busy, lively, ever changing journey
of discovery. It is full of important milestones…
No wonder then, as parents we want to capture and record all
those many memorable moments - preserving them in scrapbooks is
a great way to safely keep and cherish those memories for years
to come.
One timeless and extremely popular baby scrapbooking idea is to
make an album that consists of ‘firsts’. This is a relatively
easy an (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Amateur vs. Professional Poker Players |
| |
|
I'm sick of these Amateurs! I hope *insert pro player's name
here* wipes the floor with him!
That seems to be a common refrain in poker forums recently, in
light of all the success the amateurs are enjoying. We ran a
poll on my web site asking members to predict “Who will win WSOP
2004?" I think “a professional” beat “an amateur” by at least a
2:1 margin, and about 90% gave Chris Moneymaker hardly a
snowball's chance at even making the final few tables.
So why the angst? Is it because of the World Poker Tour coverage
on the Travel Channel where so many of the new players today saw
and became infatuated with names like Phil Ivey and Howard
Lederer and just can't stand watching th (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Poker Lessons at the Table |
| |
|
I'm sure you've all seen it, the fair to average player who
can't help himself, and just has to jump in and tell a bad
player what he is doing wrong. A few common quotes:
"You went in with that trash hand? Thats horrible! What does it
take for you to start? 72o?"
Or:
"Do you even have a clue what you're doing"?
worse still, in 7 stud:
"Are you blind? Look at his porch!!"
Now, you tell me, who is the bigger fool? The fish playing the
only way he knows how, or the table coach who is trying his best
to either run the guy off or worse yet, actually make him think
about how he plays?
In this information age, one can learn how to play poker quite
well in a very short time by either browsi (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Entangled in the World Wide Web |
| |
|
I am just a learner who likes to delve in websites as a hobby.
Hobbies are what make life so enjoyable for me. I have tried
many other things - watercolor and pastel painting, organic
gardening, kayak making, dinghy sailing, kite making, origami,
stock photography, cartooning, carpentry, rock collecting, snake
rearing and many other unusual pursuits. Somehow, as time goes
on, and for some particular reason, they gradually become just
bits of historical and passing interests for me. Amidst these
passing interests, the Internet comes along.
>From the first day I learned to surf the Internet, I became
impressed by it. I could not recall whether it was the
incredible amount of knowledge that (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Get Your Sewing Organized. |

|
Raise you hand if you have a ‘Sewing Room’ all to yourself.
Wait a minute, hold on here, and let me count them-1-2-3-4. Well
you get the picture; people with a dedicated sewing room are in
the lucky minority. Most people have to borrow a corner of the
Dining room table for their portable machine. Some use the floor
as a cutout surface. What are you going to do?
You’re going to get organized; because our Motto is: An
organized Sewer is a happy sewer. See if you can use any of
these ideas in your home.
Most pre-1960 sewing machine cabinets were built to hold a
sewing machine and a few notions. Very few. Pull out the machine
and stick the cabinet on the porch with a pot of marigol (read full article) |
