Inauguration

I worked on my laptop most of the day Saturday, after sleeping 'til
noon. After hitting the gym for a while, I went to the Black Cat
to catch the Raveonettes show. U Street was crazy- lots of Obama
shirts for sale, lots of spontaneous yelling in the streets. The
show was sold out, irritatingly; I had checked that afternoon on the
website to see that it wasn't, but I guess I didn't take into account
out-of-towners (of which there are currently millions) making
last-minute plans.

I hung out with another dude outside the club to hustle extra tickets-
he got one pretty quickly, and after another fifteen cold minutes I
scored too. My savior was pretty pissed- it sounded like he had been
stood up. I offered him $20 for the tic ($17 fv) and he shook his
head and gave it to me. "Merry Christmas," sez I. Nickel Eye
opened up- awful name, immediately evoking Nickelback. Solid rock n
roll, good slide and hollow-body country-feel to some of the songs.
Probably 200 people watching, which was fine, but I was irritated by
the maybe seven or eight hipster chicks with SLRs jostling around the
front. That, combined with the surprising tightness of the band,
made me suspect they weren't just a regular opening band. Turns out
I was right- the frontman is the bassist from the Strokes, or
something like that.

I ended up chatting between sets with a couple, lawyer-types, who went
on about how they had seen the R'ettes at sxsw, which, great, but man,
so much indie-rock namedropping. Turns out they lived down the
street from where I lived in Boston back in 98-99, and went to grad
school at BU. Some girl next to us joined the conversation, and
they did the "I saw the Pixies at thus-and-such secret show" or "I saw
thus-and-such back then at Paradise or Avalon." I miss the Middle
East and TT the Bear's a lot, so I just basked in the Boston nostalgia
for a while. The other girl went to Clark, though, which raised
unpleasant memories (ex-girlfriend a Clark dropout).

The Raveonettes played a short set (45 min) which was fantastic. The
total loudness, think J&M Chain with a Nordic ice-queen singer,
really isn't captured on their studio work. I'd heartily recommend
them live. Some more fog would have been nice, but then again I'm a
bit of a sucker for fog machines- too many Sisters of Mercy shows.

I got out 'round midnight and was going to head to U & 12th for a
party with a friend-of-a-friend who had mentioned it to me, but by the
time I got there she was leaving. I should have just gone to Ben's
Chili Bowl, as Our Lord and Savior did the other day, but just split a
cab home and watched the Galactica webisodes with a few Longhammers.


A good night.

Now here is a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 5 hundred running shoe, and, since it originally is from the '80s, the gaming electrified design and coloring is a simple choice ... Right? The kicks won't be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packed with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a PC game primarily based on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes that the game stars a character named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has five minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off loony rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' to get on-stage before his set starts. It looks fittingly retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.

So how do we go about identifying which are the honest online casinos and which are not? Well, a lot has changed since the earliest online casinos set up shop in their offshore locations in 1996. Self-regulation (at best dubious) led to accreditation of bodies like ECOGRA (E-Commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance). Look out also for evidence of good customer care, positive feedback from online casino forum members and decent helpline facilities. The more honest online casinos will offer (will actively boast) 24 hour live chat and live email support as well as toll-free telephone help. Does it have a mailing list you can join to keep in contact with the latest tournaments and special offers? Trust lies at the heart of any subscription process (or people would not subscribe) so that in itself is a good indicator of an honest online casino.



1. He fully read the casino bonuses and promotions page. This sounds like common sense, but it's important to read the fine print. Many casinos offer a special terms of Service page for each individual casino bouns. Casinos make their money by "giving" you a promotional bonus and requiring you to gamble for just long enough so that in theory you lose your initial deposit and the bonus amount. This requirement is called the "play through requirement". Knowing the play through requirement and the odds of the game you are going to play are important. Because if you can find a casino that offers a low play through requirement and high enough bonus you could (in theory) make money for as long as your eligible for the bonus.

- Knowledge is power: Know the rules and intricacies of the game you preferably choose to play. Watch some games before you lay down any money in an actual game.


First, never choose a casino on the sole basis of his ranking in the search engine results. They are not necessarily good rankings on how a casino. You must go through several online casino sites to compare the benefits in detail and then make a decision. For example, should offer a bonus and, if so, how much. Are there any special promotions available?



2. Regular brick-n-mortar casinos normally ploy subtle methods to divert your attention from the game. They employ pretty hostesses and sweet-talking managers who are forever trying to entice you to buy a drink, or whatever. Now when you drink above the average, you lose focus on the game and make mistakes. This is precisely what the brick-n-mortar casinos want you to do is spend your money buying chips, then spend it on drinks and food, and then lose both your concentration and money! Online casinos cannot play such tricks as you play on these from home and, therefore, there is nothing to distract you or divert your attention from the game.

Transparency of accounting systems is another good indicator of honest online casinos. When testimonials are published make sure that it is from more than a set of initials, and make sure they have a state or country. Free casino chips may be 'virtual' in concept, but they are used by real people!

But the best indicator of an honest online casino is by personal recommendation. This also includes affiliation of such casinos into trusted casino websites and portals. If an offer of free casino chips is made by an online casino on such a site then it can probably be trusted.
Do you want to know how to take the maximum advantage of the bonuses and promotions that the different online casinos offer? onlinecasinos5.com spills the secrets of exactly how you can do it! A case study released by onlinecasinos5.com showed the following scenario that utilizes the optimal strategy to leverage your casino deposit to your advantage. This technique will work on ALL online casinos not just onlinecasinos5.com. This is what happened with an "ideal" client in this case study:

Another feature of casino slots online is the loyalty factor. Some virtual gaming sites offer bonus credits to you every time you make a deposit to your account. If you're going to play on a regular basis, it pays to sign up with a site the pays a dividend back to you. There's a myriad of online casinos available for you to choose. Take the time to investigate what's available. Take the time to learn the games you want to play. Utilize all a casino site has to offer you to help you play better. Plan your playing, plan your budget, and let the online games begin.
Online Casinos, believe it or not could be the best solution for some. I know that some of us, including me, like to go to Vegas or other places to play in their casinos, but this is not possible all the time. For all of us who do not have time, online casino gambling is the best solution.
