			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Washington Capitals have been the best team in the league for the last three weeks.  Every team that has been in a similar position understands that changing a winning roster can put that fire out quickly.  While the Caps are no doubt happy to welcome team members Mike Green and Semyon Varlamov back to the dressing room, fans may be thinking ‘Why mess with a good thing?’</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ending last year as the top goal scoring defensemen, Green – or Game Over as his fans call him – is known for his powerhouse shot.  In fact, Game Over’s slap shot once broke an opposing defenseman’s protective cup and almost ruptured a testicle!   Such a strong player must have been sorely missed by the club when he suffered a concussion, but the Caps fared just fine.  Now, after a month out of the game and a month of great playing by the rest of the team, where will Green fit in?  Can Game Over find his game in time for the playoffs, after being off the ice for a month?  If the Capitals want to make a long playoff run, they really need their Green to be running on all cylinders.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Capital’s have also had to do without Goalie Semyon Varlamov, who was put off by a knee injury, but again, they have done okay without him.  Michal Neuvirth and rookie Braden Holtby have kept the net guarded, with Holtby contributing significantly to Washington’s success.  Holtby was named the first star of the week on March 14, stopped twenty pucks during a shootout against Tampa, achieved two shut outs and a .965 save percentage since being called up. Unfortunately for Holtby – and unfortunately for the Caps &#8211; three goalies are one too many and in light of Varlamov’s return, Holtby has been sent back down to Hershey.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After three huge successful seasons and three early departures in the <a href="http://www.nhlsportsbooks.ca/">NHL playoffs</a>, the Capitals are eager to go the distance this year.  With Ovechkin – the third highest goal scorer in the league – and Backstom – the fourth highest goal scorer in the league, the Capitals have stats on their side for sure.  That said, how will the recent returns of Green and Varlamov impact the team and their standings?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>You decide.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone loves to have a gamble from time to time (myself included). Unfortunately we don’t always win, but the real fun is in the playing, not the winning. Here is a list of the top 10 Casino games.</p>
<p>10. Bingo</p>
<p>Bingo Set</p>
<p>Bingo is a game in which players try to match randomly selected numbers to the numbers on their card. The card consists of a 5×5 matrix where each column is represented by the letters B-I-N-G-O. The middle square is typically a free square. The first person to form a specific pattern (usually a straight line) calls out “Bingo!”. The card gets checked for accuracy and the winner is announced. Then a new round begins.</p>
<p>9. Baccarat</p>
<p>Baccarat</p>
<p>In Baccarat each player has three options: Player, Tie, and Banker. When all players have placed their bets, the dealer deals out two 2-card hands, one is the banker hand while the other is the player hand. The hands are added up. If a hand totals over ten, the ten is dropped (I.E. 9+5=14=4). A hand equaled to 10 becomes a 0 or baccarat. The winning hand would be the higher of the 2 and anyone who placed a corresponding bet wins.</p>
<p>8. Wheel of Fortune (The Big Six)</p>
<p>Wheel-Big Six</p>
<p>This game is played by placing your bet on one of 6 symbols on the game table. Then the wheel is spun. The wheel is divided into 52 equal sections that are separated by pins around the edge. When the wheel comes to a stop, the pointer will be between two pins. All bets placed on the symbol the wheel stops on, win.</p>
<p>7. Keno</p>
<p>Keno</p>
<p>Keno is a lottery game. The player get a card numbered 1 to 80. The player then picks up to 20 numbers and a wager. The card is then registered and the game begins. The caller announces 20 randomly drawn numbers. The player tries to match as many called numbers to their selected numbers. The more numbers matched the higher the winnings paid against their wager.</p>
<p>6. Pai Gow Poker</p>
<p>Paigow</p>
<p>Pai Gow Poker is played against the house instead of the other players. The dealer deals out 7 cards to each player and himself in rotation. Everyone then looks at their cards and tries to make the best 5-card and 2-card poker hands. The 5-card hand must rank higher than the 2-card hand. The hands are then compared against the dealers. If both hands beat the dealer, the player wins. If both lose, the player loses. If both the dealer and the player win on a hand, it is a push.</p>
<p>5. Roulette</p>
<p>Roulette</p>
<p>In roulette, the player places his chips on the table where they would like to wager. The table consists of number 0-36 and 00 and then has additional betting for even-odd, red-black, low 18-high 18, low/middle/high 12, and for the first/second/third columns. A player may also place their bet between 2, 3, 4, or 5 numbers and may cross bet between the additional betting area. The dealer will signal no more bets. The dealer will spin the wheel in a clockwise direction then roll a ball in a counter-clockwise direction. The ball lands in a numbered slot on the wheel. All bets that correspond with the number win.</p>
<p>4. Slots</p>
<p>Slots</p>
<p>Slots are machines that play a number of different games. They are very popular. In general the player will insert coins into the machine and either pull a handle or press a button. This causes the wheels to spin. In older styled slot machines there were 3 wheels. In the newer machines they tend to have 3 to 5 simulated wheels. When the wheels stop, the player is paid based on the pattern of symbols.</p>
<p>3. Black Jack (21)</p>
<p>Blackjack</p>
<p>Blackjack is a card game played between the house and the player. The dealer deals out two cards to each player and their self. The dealer has one card face up and one down. The players then take turns trying to get as close to 21 without going over. Aces are equal to 1 or 11. Face cards are 10 and number cards are face value. The player calls hit to get a card, and stand to end their turn. A player may also call double to double their bet and may only receive one card and the turn ends. If a player has two identically numbered cards, they may split. This requires them to double their bet and then get two more cards making two new hands that they may play. After all players turns are over, the dealer reveals their card. The dealer then hits if the total is 16 or less and stands on 17 and higher. Everyone who has a hand that beats the dealer without going over 21 wins.</p>
<p>2. Craps</p>
<p>Craps</p>
<p>Craps is a high energy dice game based on 7. The player places bets around the table. There are many places to bet. The Pass line is the main focus of the game. 7 and 11 win on this line while 2, 3 and 12 lose. All other numbers rolled make an established point. If that number is rolled again before a 7 is rolled, the bet wins. The Don’t Pass line is just the opposite, 2 and 3 win where 7 and 11 loses. The Field line wins on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12. 2 and 12 pay double. The Come line is playable after a point is established. It plays the same as the Pass line. The Don’t Come plays like Don’t Pass after the point is established. Then you also can make bets on the horn. These bets are on getting 2, 3, 11, or 12 on the next roll. Other bets include Big 6/8, C&amp;E, Any Seven, and Craps.</p>
<p>1. Poker</p>
<p>Poker</p>
<p>Poker is a card game base on a 5 card hand. The ranking of hands from lowest to highest are high card, pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush, and royal flush. The player with the best hand wins. There are many versions of poker such as 5-card draw, 5-card stud, Texas Hold’em, Omaha Hold’em, Razz, Pineapple, and 7-card stud.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can be very overwhelming to plan a wedding. There are so many things to consider, and your music can be one of the most important. The music you choose will set the mood of the day, so be sure to choose it carefully. When looking at options, 3 things to know about a wedding musicians company are what style they play, how much they charge for their services, and whether or not they do requests.</p>
<p>Do not let the music planning for your wedding be forgotten about. You will need to find music for the ceremony and the reception. There are likely going to be a wide age range of guests, so try to think of everyone and play music that people can agree on. You do not want to offend any guests.</p>
<p>It can be hard to decide on a genre of music. Most people like to have soft or acoustic music for the ceremony, jazz or easy listening for dinner and pop or rock hits for dancing. Whatever genre you like, try to go with something that is not too loud, obscene or offensive.</p>
<p>Rates very widely between musicians. Most musicians base their rates on the number of guests, the number of musicians hired, and the amount of time they are required to play. If you are on a budget, consider reducing one of those factors. Keep in mind also that you will need to feed the musicians, too. Plan on ordering meals for all musicians and any technicians they may have with them.</p>
<p>Not all musicians can take requests. One of the limitations of live music is that they usually work from a list on songs they know. If you need a special song for a first dance, make sure to give your musicians enough time to learn the song. Be aware that an extra fee may be charged for special requests.</p>
<p>There are many resources for wedding musicians companies online. Look around to find more information about musicians in your area that may be a good fit for your wedding.</p>
<p><a href="http://reelting.com/hiring_wedding.php">Live wedding music</a> adds a unique quality to the celebration of your marriage. Choose a <a href="http://reelting.com">wedding musicians company</a> like Reel Ting that performs your favorite songs in a style that everyone will enjoy.</p>
