Get Smart Review
This movie was one of the most funniest movies that I have seen so far, the acting of Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway was beyond then I totally expected. The acting including the Rock oh wait Dwayne Johnson was even more hilarious, the story line was straight forward as well as simple so it does not get complicated at all in the movie. The plot thickens towards the end as Steve Carell saves the day as well as save the whole CIA.
FINAL THOUGHTS: KICK ASS!!!! MOVIE
SLOW COOKERS!!!
Another article I am working on
Slow Cookers
The slow cooker is one of the most interesting cooking instruments in kitchen history. When used properly, the slow cooker offers easier assistance for busy family who want a home cooked meal as soon as they arrived home from a long day from work. However, many slow cookers are no longer popular as many recipes that used slow cookers, are so complicated that many slow cookers resort to the cabinets as families are finding other resources to cook their meals. However, with the right basic tools and tips the slow cooker can become one of the most popular item in your family kitchen again.
The slow cooker became all of the rage in the late 70’s and 80’s as moms who where normally stayed at home begin to enter into the workplace and started to find more convenient ways to have a home cooked meals in their homes. The slow cooker is usually oval shaped and the inside is glazed by either porcelain or ceramic. The inside of the slow cooker is used as a heating device as well as a holding cell for keeping the food warm. The slow cooker usually has three temperatures for your desired cooking speed. The liquid that was added to the slow cooker is important as the amount the liquid that is used will help the food stay moist as well as preventing drying out of the product. It is recommended that you should have one half full of liquid inside the slow cooker to avoid the bottom of the pot from burning. You should also avoid overfilling the slow cooker as spillage can occur on the slow cooker. Also, if your recipe requires for longer cooking then adding more water will prevent the item from drying out. Also, some recipes also mentioned not using frozen items, i.e. frozen vegetables, as they will start to turn soggy due to the long cooking temperatures. Also, as any cooking equipment always check the product temperature to check the proper food danger zone temperatures.

Ahhh yes my birthday is coming near and the love guru review!!!
>Well I went to see the love guru a couple of days ago and I must say this is the first movie by mike myers that, how could I said this correctly... was very lackluster. Now, I usually like mike myers movies, i.e. shriek, Austin powers. However this one was not as funny and comical as those. Maybe because the movie was commercialized in the untied states, ( I mean come on who haven't seen the commercial to Love Guru), or the plot of the movies sort of bounces around a little bit, the Love Guru really miss the mark when it came to comedy as well as was lackluster even with all of the other characters. So... My final thoughts on this...... SAVE YOU MONEY RENT AT NETFLIX

After a long day of playing poker here are some tips that i found useful in playing well in the poker room. Enjoy!
Poker Tips:
So you have been playing online poker for a while now and you are ready to play with the big boys at your local casino room. Here are some rules or tips that can help you not look like a fool in front of experienced players.
- You do not have to immediately play when you first come in to the casino room.
Ok, I know you are itching to play that first lucky hand in the
- Do not bring 1,000’s of dollars to play poker, start small then work your way to the big boys.
I know it seem tempting from all of the coverage of poker on ESPN, however smaller amounts can help you budget as well as will not cause an emotional breakdown when you lose all of your money. When I first started to play poker I started at the cheap tables in
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions to the dealer………
How do you know how to play if you don’t ask questions? Since every poker room is different you should ask questions to the dealer if you do not understand the play, i.e. problems with betting or raising. Trust me, the dealer and the other players have all been in your shoes before and only if they have been drinking to much, will appreciate you more later on in the game then when you are making mistakes and the floor,(casino floor supervisor) has to come and redo the round.
- You are not going to win every hand……
I think this tip is one of the most important tips in poker, just because you were good at your yahoo poker does not mean you are going to be a pro right away in table poker. A lot of newbie’s get upset when they are not winning hands as they used to online so they give up. In actually, online poker when it is free has a lot more winning hands then table poker and the first couple of times you may not even make any money; hence the rule #2. However, with practice and time you can be a pro and move on the bigger and better tables and hopefully when some cold hard cash!
