It is undeniable that the popularity of football is increasing over the years. Most of us place our bets on the teams we think are going to win. Unless we’re Nostradamus, we’ll know for sure who’s going to win and make a profit every time there’s a game. Want to rack up those winnings even if you don’t have any third eye psychic powers? So here are soccer betting tips for today.

Most of the people think that choosing a winner when placing bets on soccer is difficult, but if you really know the tricks in a more systematic way. There are no shortcuts to success, but you can always improve your chances of getting more winnings if you have a keen sense of predicting the winner of the game. In fact, with just a few hours of your time each day and a portion of your diligence you can turn this into entertainment and utility.

You need a portion of luck, information, wisdom, perseverance, courage and experience to be able to place winning soccer bets. In the age of the Internet, one of the best places to place bets on soccer is online. Online soccer betting offers better odds, the end result of which is higher profits.

First of all, you must first know the game. It is not wise to invest some of your hard earned money without studying the players, the teams and the history of the game and how it is played. Knowledge is always the key, in all sports. One important rule of thumb is to remember to get your source from a professional or someone you absolutely trust. After all, you are going to be risking money when you place your bets, right? Better safe than sorry.

The next thing you need to do is be able to rate a game. There are many variables involved in the game of soccer, such as a sports match, team strength, team/players, motivation, form, and opportunities. You can add a bit of intuition and then follow your own pattern consistently. There are some who place bets using high-tech computer programs that have a large number of variables, while others trust their gut feeling and simply look at the table location.

There is only one rule in football betting: if you win, you are right! There are only two teams playing here, so there is a 50% chance that you will win. Evaluate the times when a team wins the most at home or away from home. Also, does the team have a healthy set of players? How many are on the disabled list? How have they performed in recent games? What are your stats?

It is always worth doing your homework before placing bets on teams in play. Soccer betting tips for today include common sense, intuition and statistics that will improve your chances of winning every time you place your bets on the winning team.

wireless access points it can work in three different types of modes: root, repeater, and bridge.

root mode – This is the most common type of mode where multiple users access the access point at the same time as one access point. In root mode, users with laptops or PDAs can access the Internet to watch videos of Torino games or simply check email. As a side note, there is a difference between being a mobile user and a roaming user. A mobile user remains connected to a wireless access point. A roaming user moves from one access point cell to another access point cell. I point this out because of the additional load on the access point.

repeater – Repeater mode is used when you want to extend your signal beyond your current limits. You must place the repeater access point within range of your current root access point. You need to be close enough to the root access point for the repeater to repeat a strong signal and not a weak signal. If you end up repeating the weak signal you won’t be able to watch the Torino Olympics.

Bridge – The bridge acts as a wireless cable. Two access points in bridge mode will only communicate with each other, no other client will be able to access them. Bridging is useful when connecting two buildings or large temporary locations where cable routing is not cost effective.

to set up a wireless bridge you will have two access points and two directional antennas. Depending on the distance, it will use voltmeters or the manufacturer’s software to target the access points. Before you do this, you’ll need to enter the MAC address of each access point so they know who to align with.

Mounting your antennas correctly is one of the most important things. If you mount your antenna on your roof, make sure it is attached to a stud. Keep in mind that wind is a factor when aligning the antennas. It could give a great signal on a windless day and no signal on a windy or snowy day. Choosing the right wind rated antenna and the right tower or mounting brackets are the key to the bridge.

So when you buy a wireless access point Actually, you are buying three types of wireless connectivity: Root/Hot Spot which is used to connect multiple mobile clients at the same time, Repeater which is used to extend the signal of another access point. The last mode we talked about was the wireless bridge, which is another way of saying wireless cable.

One of the cheapest but most reliable wireless access points I’ve used is the linksys WAP54g. I have installed it in houses, small offices and schools. 15-20 people can access them at a time and they almost never break. The WAP54g comes with all the latest security features, including WPA2 with AES encryption. If you’re new to installing wireless access points, you can also take advantage of Linksys Kickass technical support.

Introduction

Have you fallen into the trap of neglecting your marriage or your wife? Or are you adding as much value to your marriage as humanly possible? Learn how to have the right attitude to have the best marriage possible.

pillars of marriage

All relationships are built on the pillars of trust, care and love. And since your marriage is the most important relationship you’ll ever have, it should be obvious that these pillars are very important to your marriage as well. However, many people do not realize this important fact, so they neglect their spouse. And eventually the neglect will erase all feelings of love… and lead to divorce.

Relationships thrive with attention

Relationships thrive on attention. So if you really want to bless your marriage and make it the most fulfilling relationship, you have to pay attention to your wife as well as pay attention to her.

Pay attention

If it is true that your marriage is the most important relationship of your life, and it is! — then you have to realize that your wife is the person who deserves most of your attention. More than your boss, your colleagues, your friends, your parents, and yes, even your kids!

You have to treat your wife like she is your queen and give her the benefit of your best care.

That obviously also implies that you have to pay attention when your wife talks to you. Men are often guilty of “switching off” when we get home. We spend the whole day focused on work and when we get home we just want to relax. That also often results in us not listening properly when our wives talk to us.

Did you know? There are few things as disrespectful as paying half attention when someone is speaking to you. But somehow, men tend to think that if they show such disrespect to her wife, she should accept it.

It doesn’t work that way, my friend!

Showing disrespect for your wife is a guaranteed way to kill your marriage.

Add some effort and do it right

just take a little more effort to listen carefully than to listen halfway. But it makes a enormous difference in your marriage. just take a little more effort to give an extra hug, but worth it wonderfully! just take a little more effort to say kind words to his wife, but he brings very much of appreciation – and greatly benefits you, your wife, your relationship and your marriage.

So can you see that just a little extra effort will make a big difference?

Do it now

Karyl Beal once said, “The only guaranteed moment is this.” You have no guarantee that you can do these things for your wife (or your marriage) tomorrow, simply because you have no guarantee that you or your wife will still be here tomorrow.

Don’t wait until it’s too late, because, as Harriet Stowe warned us, “The bitterest tears that are shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.”

Don’t risk having to regret it for the rest of your life for not fully showing your wife how much you appreciated and loved her.

Do it NOW – TODAY – while you still have the chance! Invest in your marriage, because both you and your wife deserve a long and happy marriage. Your wife deserves to be treated like the queen that she is. Do it, make the investment! You will not regret!

Never stop becoming a better husband

There are many men who feel that they are a “nice guy” and that women are crazy to pass them up. Well I have some news for you folks.

Nobody cares that you’re “nice.”

See, the problem is that “nice” guys put themselves on some kind of pedestal. Nice guys like to think that they are superior to other men, that they are better in relationships, and that by virtue of their “niceness” they serve a woman’s romantic attentions more.

From experience I can tell you that the “nice” guys are not as good as they like to think. Most “nice guys” are whiny, closed-minded, judgmental, weak, controlling, and weak. Women don’t like weak, whiny and judgmental men. Ergo, women don’t like “nice” guys.

Women want MEN: decisive, action-oriented, determined, aggressive. Sadly, sometimes that comes along with a liar and cheating, which is what the “nice” guys point out and the reason why they say women are crazy.

But who said that every woman SHOULD want a “nice” guy? Who made that a law? Why do “nice” guys condemn women for choosing impulsive, thrill-seeking men with a bad-boy edge? In other words, options that exclude the “good” guys?

Being a “nice guy” doesn’t score you points in the dating game! Never has, never will. You win in dating when you give the opposite sex what they want. Even if a woman is your wife, you still have to have a backbone, stand your ground, and stay in control of yourself like a man should.

The bottom line that you “good guys” need to understand is this: when women are young, they are not interested in settling down and being serious. Why would a girl want a clingy and overly helpful codependent around? Young women want to HAVE FUN. And the best men to have fun with are the impulsive, thrill-seeking ones who have an edge… men who pump testosterone and inspire passion and desire with their games and lies.

That’s why “nice” guys who project neediness, who go out of their way to please women with the expectation of getting something in return, get overlooked.

“I was so nice to her, why doesn’t she love me?

I deserve someone to love me more than those players!”, say the good guys.

No, you don’t. But if you want to get girls, you have to be the type of man who never allows a woman to tell him what to do or control him in any way. Certainly, in a marital partnership trust is established and decisions are made with the input of both parties for the betterment of the family. But here we are talking about dating, not marriage. Just remember, once you allow a woman to have the upper hand in a relationship, she loses respect for you. And when a woman loses respect for a man, she also loses her sexual attraction to him. She sees you as a brother, and normal people aren’t sexually attracted to her brothers. Subsequently, you are placed in the Friend Zone and you will never leave. If the two were dating, she would eventually declare that “he’s too nice” and dump him out of boredom.

However, there is hope for you.

Bad boy types remain exciting for a few years, then most women move on. Once the game is out of their system (just like the guys), people change their perspective on life. Your lifestyle, clothing, and romantic partner choices also change.

As a woman approaches 30, she transitions and begins to search for a husband and father for her children. She will look for slightly different qualities in her partner and will place more emphasis and value on personal qualities such as honesty, work ethic, family values, responsibility, and a similar lifestyle than on arousal and sexual attractiveness.

However, even if a woman is 50, she does NOT want a weak, whiny, judgmental, superior guy! Every woman on this planet wants a guy that she sees as attractive, exciting, and sexy; he just wants him to be committed and dedicated to her and her children at the same time.

Finding the right woman for you is simply a matter of matching whatever a woman is looking for. If you adjust to her needs, you are into her. If you’re not cast as Mr. “Nice” Guy, that simply means you don’t meet his needs. No matter how “nice” you are as a guy, you are not the RIGHT guy for her.

A couple of miles west of the small town of Carrizozo in New Mexico is a totally otherworldly place called Malpaís. Malpaís means “wastelands” in Spanish and if it was the Spanish who gave this place its name, it sure was appropriate. The Badlands is a flow of solidified lava that erupted from various vents around Little Black Peak approximately 5,000 years ago. The lava itself is similar to the lava found in Hawaii in that it is dark black basalt. According to the Park Service Information Panel, this lava flow is one of the youngest and best-preserved lava flows in the United States.

The Malpaís is 44 miles long with an average width of 2.5 miles. The flow covers 127 square miles and is between 45 and 165 feet deep. The eruption lasted about 30 years, but it was not a catastrophic eruption, but rather lava flowing from an open vent creating lava tubes, dams, ice caves, and collapsed bubbles. The Malpaís is an interesting place that is home to an amazing diversity of desert plants and provides a home for all sorts of creatures such as coyotes, rabbits, ring-tailed cats, bats, snakes, and lizards.

Even though the terrain is rough enough to shred the best boots in no time, the plants find this spot at 5,000 feet in the high desert a good place to live. Average precipitation is only about 12 inches a year, but because rainwater and snow collect on rocks and run off into crevices, there is a much greater abundance of plant life inside the Malpais than outside. of the. In winter, the black rock absorbs heat from the sun and radiates it away at night, keeping the area slightly warmer than the surrounding desert. In the summer, when it’s 100 degrees outside, in the deep fissures it’s nice and cool and in the lava tubes there can even be ice.

Humans have inhabited the area around the Malpaís for 12,000 years and some of the ancients may have even witnessed lava erupt and flow in a bright red river at night from the slopes of the White Mountains or Pico Carrizo. These people and even the Mescalero Apache later used the many useful desert plants that grew in the area, such as Sotol, Yucca, Agave, Cholla, and Prickly Pear. They wove mats and baskets from yucca fibers, made ropes from sotol leaves, and used sharp black obsidian as spearheads.

There is a great parking area and trailhead at Malpais that provides access to a paved wheelchair accessible trail through the lava that is 38 miles long. I think it’s great that provision has been made, even for a short distance, so that people with disabilities can also enjoy the outdoors. I was thinking that this could be a model for many other places. When the pavement ends, the trail continues a loop ending at the starting point in another 2/3 of a mile. This seems short, but in the heat of summer it’s probably longer than most would want.

I had been fascinated by the stories of this place for years reading Louis L’amour’s books about how the hero “Flint” was hiding in an oasis that no one could find in the center of Malpais, so I had to visit this place. for me. I had that opportunity one weekend when I escaped from duty at Fort Bliss and drove north to get away from that place. The following is an account of an afternoon when I shared the Malpaís with Luna.

I’m sitting by a positively ancient juniper tree in the Malpais lava flow of Lincoln County, New Mexico. I’m watching the sunset paint the cotton western sky in shades of pink and orange. Most people would be looking for an end to their day when the sun goes down, but not me, I’m going to enjoy the wastelands since I have them all to myself. There is a light breeze blowing and I can hear the crickets and all sorts of other LOUD and completely annoying night bugs. I started my hike into the lava around 6pm. There were all kinds of bad plants in the lava and I was pierced several times by Sotol spears and it really hurt.

The stars have now come out and there is a cloud above me in the sky. It is shaped like a fingerprint with the dark blue of the night and the stars behind it. It’s hot here at night because of my Juniper. This gnarly old Juniper was hundreds of years old when Billy the Kid was on the run from Sheriff Pat Garrett and the Mescalero Apache was on the warpath. The lava is very black and thick, piled up in strings and mounds.

I can hear an owl out there in the dark. It was somewhat difficult to negotiate the wastelands. I left the trail and headed west towards the Malpaís. Large folds, depressions, cave-ins and cracks had to be negotiated. Parts of the surface were crumbling piles of fragmented lava; others were solid surfaces of apparently frozen mud. Some of the rope flows were stacked almost vertically and I easily climbed over them and down the other side, all the while grateful for my leather gloves and heavy boots. There were large cracks in solid masses of lava and there were small hidden sandy-bottomed valleys, depressions, or bowls that were surrounded by lava piles over 30 feet on all sides.

I’m sitting here waiting for the moon to rise over Carrizo Mountain. Just before it got dark in the lava, bats of different shapes, sizes, arrangements and colors appeared. I counted four different types of bats. They flew in all random directions out of the dark places as if the swirling leaves were blown by the wind. I wish I could find all those noisy critters and squash them. At least the bats are coming for them. One of the bats was strangely red and looked like a giant butterfly.

The angry looking moon appears to be Sauron’s searching eye looking across Mordor. Thin clouds hovering around Carrizo Mountain are protecting the eye. Now it rises like a great orange lantern through some juniper branches on the horizon. It is completely full and it is an extraordinary spectacle to see that celestial object pilot through the clouds. If it was Halloween it would be perfect with that spooky moon and bats flying too close for comfort.

The moon is like a great spotlight now, casting shadows from every rock, tree, and bush. No flashlights needed tonight. If you’ve ever stood under a pale blue white streetlight late at night, you can relate to the look of the entire desert and sky. I explored several cracks. The deepest one was about 30 feet deep and I had to be very careful descending to its floor, which was tan sand. It’s similar to being in a narrow slot canyon in southern Utah, in that you could touch both sides of the chasm with your arms outstretched.

I heard a coyote somewhere in the night and it sounds like a ghostly Apache war cry. It is a tragedy what our government did to those people on the banks of the Pecos. I’m glad the Mescalero Apaches were allowed to go back to Sierra Blanca and claim the Ruidoso “noisy water” head for themselves. I will never forget how the Big Dipper dipped brilliantly into the sky that looked like a cloud of cotton candy.

Someday, when I’m old and broken, I’ll go back to this one of my favorite places and sit down to visit the old Juniper, its neighbor the Cholla, the crickets, the wind, Carrizo Peak, and my heaven again. Mexico. Cholla casts strange and melancholic shadows on the road. It’s hot and muggy in the breaks when the wind has stopped, but you can smell the rich pine scent of the juniper. I thought about how the snakes manage here, since it looks like the lava would cut them to pieces.

There were hardwood deciduous trees with gray trunks in some of the chasms with years of fallen leaves around their base on the chasm floor. There were red bulbous fruits on the prickly pear and strange, golf ball-sized bright yellow fruits on the cholla. I found a strange plant with fruits as big as pears. Come to find out that these are Yucca bananas and that they were a staple crop for the Indians in the past.

Contemplating the Malpaís in the moonlight, I can imagine old John Chism and his horsemen chasing the rustlers to the edge of the lava and losing them in the ruts. I sat up and wondered if maybe Billy the Kid himself at some point hid in these rocks. I had a good night in the badlands, just me, the moon, an owl, a coyote, and a bunch of bats and bugs. Such a strange place with a certain quality that creates a feeling of its own… especially on a summer night with a full moon.

If you ever visit the Malpaís, make sure you take plenty of water with you. After a few near-death experiences in the desert, my rule of thumb is to estimate how much water you think you’ll need, and then double it. It is campfire in the beginning of winter when collecting firewood. Anyway, a good pair of leather gloves and a sturdy pair of boots are also a must because the sharp basalt will shred ordinary shoes in no time. If you’re foolish enough to walk alone as I often do, tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to return.

El Malpaís is a strange and magical place that can be fun to visit. Just be prepared and avoid disaster. This place isn’t called the Badlands for no reason. It’s tough and unforgiving terrain, but if you’re prepared, you’ll be safe and have fun.

I am a big sports fan. I love the NFL and have been a fan of the Oakland Raiders my entire life. In fact, at age 8, I received a Kenny Stabler football uniform for Christmas. The NFL has always been a part of my life and I look forward to it every year. I love the fall season as it comes to a close and football is a big part of that for me. So it is with sadness that I have seen professional sports in this country become totally neutral and a joke for any intelligent fan to watch.

However, it seems that the NFL is becoming more like the NBA in that the players play and the refs call the shots. The players no longer decide who wins the game on their own merits, the referees do. It’s sickening to see when EVERY game contains multiple – ghost pass interference calls. Peyton Manning has another chance to score because he got hit in the head: he’s wearing a helmet! Touchdowns are removed every game by some new non-rule rule and all previous rules are either ignored or interpreted differently. Lost fumbles where it was obviously not a fumble, but stands because the team ran out of challenges. If you watch games like I do, you see this in every game. Refs over reproducing and over parsing to the point where it’s no longer a game, but a rule interpretation war. You can’t even look at a quarterback anymore without getting fined and a 15-yard penalty and games are frequently decided late for pass interference. Just ask Pittsburgh’s James Harrison how he feels about the $100k he’s earned this year alone.

Yeah, winning the games by superior athletic ability, skill, training, planning, those days are long gone. Now, if the refs interpret the decisions in favor of their teams, they COULD win. Or if your team contains a superstar player. For example, if Ed Reed or Ray Lewis hit hard, then they are great ‘busting’ players. But if an Oakland Raider hits, well, the Raiders are a dirty team that take a lot of penalties.

Perhaps it was repetition and technology that changed gaming forever, but now, like basketball, soccer has become a game of whoever gets the most calls wins. You do not believe me? It started with the ‘tuck rule’ a few years ago when the Patriots got a spot in the Super Bowl. Watch Kobe or Lebron shoot 15-20 free kicks per game, EVERY game if you have any doubt. Oh, and now, if you complain, you’ll get a technical and sent off after two, so fans can pay huge and expensive ticket prices to watch the players on the bench play.

It costs an average of $450 for a family of 4 to watch an NFL game. Now, instead of watching the game, you can spend that money to watch an umpire stick their head under a hood and interpret a rule you didn’t even know existed. What a thrill!

Along with this, there is likely to be a lockout between owners and players. Millionaires against billionaires deciding what to do with the money from a game that isn’t even a real game anymore.

Maybe watch hockey…

Since the 1960s, Nebraska has maintained a very consistent football helmet design. They have always had a very conservative design; they have never been flashy or unusual in design, even for a special occasion like a game of bowling. In 1960, Nebraska had a red helmet with a white stripe and the player’s number on the side (eg, 22). In 1961, apparently the powers that be felt that even that design was too colorful and action-packed and instead opted for a white helmet with black numbers on the side. This Nebraska football helmet design is as simple as it gets for a football helmet. In 1966 the numbers changed to red and a red vertical stripe appeared on the hull for the first time. The white background and red stripe have never left the helmet since.

The red numbers lasted for only one regular season before they were phased out entirely. Instead of having the player’s number on the side of the helmet, the letters “NU” made it to the helmet for the Sugar Bowl game in 1967 and remained for 2 full seasons. During the third season in this helmet design (1969), a “100” decal appeared on the front of the football helmet. It was shaped like a blue soccer ball with white numbers outlined in red. The “100” marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

From 1970 to 1981, the Cornhuskers kept the exact same design. The helmet had a white background, a red vertical stripe, and the letter “N” replaced “NU”. This football helmet closely resembles the current design with one exception. In 1982 the team switched from the basic gray face mask to the red face mask. For almost 30 years, the exact same design has been maintained. The “N” is as simple as possible. It has no serifs and looks like the capital “N” in the basic Arial font that you could type in any word processing program. It probably fits well into the show’s image as a working-class Midwestern school, where they like to run the ball up the middle. In many ways, it’s the antithesis of some of the flashier designs out there at schools like Oregon, Maryland, and Boise State. There isn’t even a catchy logo like the Texas Longhorn or the Florida State Spear. Looking at this football helmet, you can begin to see why the cold weather, Big Ten Rust Belt schools rushed to admit the Cornhuskers as full members of the conference in 2010.

Malta, officially the Republic of Malta, comprises an archipelago of seven islands located in the southern Mediterranean Sea, 60 miles off the coast of Sicily, 180 miles east of Tunisia and 188 miles north of Libya. Only the three largest islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino, are inhabited. The smallest islands are Filfla, Cominotto and the San Pablo Islands. Malta’s coastline is well defined and offers numerous harbours, bays, creeks, sandy beaches and rocky coves. The length of the Maltese coastline is 136 km and 43 km around Gozo.

Most charter boats are based in Grand Harbor or Marsamxett Harbor, where there are several marinas. Both ports are located in Valletta.

A typical one week charter might look like this; Valletta – Mgarr on the island of Gozo – Blue Lagoon on the island of Comino – Marsaxlokk – Portomaso Marina – Valletta. In a two-week charter, in addition to visiting the Maltese Islands, it is also possible to sail to other places, such as Tunis (160 NM), Sicily (58 NM) or Lampedusa (95 NM)

In addition to your time on the water, Malta has nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites you can visit, including megalithic temples, which are some of the oldest free-standing structures in the world.

What you need: experience, qualifications, visa requirements, etc. – For bareboat rentals, the skipper of the boat is required to have an ICC certificate or equivalent.

Charter Season: The charter season in Malta generally runs from April to the end of October.

Climate – The climate is typically Mediterranean, with mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. The temperature is very stable, the monthly averages oscillate between 12°C (54°F) and 31°C (88°F). The winds are strong and frequent.

Time difference – UTC+1

How to get there – Malta International Airport (MLA) is the only airport serving the Maltese Islands. The national airline is Air Malta, which operates services to 36 destinations in Europe and North Africa. Lufthansa and Alitalia, EasyJet and Ryanair offer extensive services. Ferries connect Malta with Pozzallo and Catania in Sicily.

Euro coin

Language – Maltese. English is widely spoken.

Food and Drink: Maltese cuisine is typically Mediterranean, based on locally available fresh, seasonal produce and seafood. While many dishes are native to the island, some popular Maltese recipes reflect Sicilian, Southern Italian, or Turkish cuisine, as well as traces of Tunisian, Spanish, Berber, French, and British influences. Still, there are plenty of unique, distinctive, and popular local dishes, including Ftira, a bread, and Pastizzi, a typical Maltese snack.

Itineraries and suggested routes

Day 1: Join the ship at a Valletta marina.

Day 2 – Valletta – Mgarr on the island of Gozo – 15 miles. Sail NW along the Maltese coast and then across the straight line between Malta and Gozo. Gozo Marina is located within the harbor on the south coast of Gozo.

Day 3 – Gozo Island Tour

Day 4 – Mgarr – Blue Lagoon, Comino – 4 miles. Blue Lagoon is a picturesque bay on the west side of the island of Comino. With a white sand bottom and rich marine life, it is popular with divers. Two large bays on the north coast of the island of Comino also provide a good shelter.

Day 5 – Blue Lagoon, Comino – Marsaxlokk – 25 miles. Anchor in the small fishing village of Marsaxlokk in a bay on the south coast of the main island

Day 6 – Marsaxlokk – Portomaso Marina, St Julians. Portomaso Marina is located on the east coast of Malta, in the heart of the main tourist area.

Day 7 – Portomaso Marina – Valletta – 3 miles.

Day 8 – Leave the ship in Valletta

History of the area: Throughout history, Malta’s location has given it great strategic importance and a number of powers, including the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Sicilians, the Knights of St John, the French and the British They have ruled the islands. Malta gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1964 and became a republic in 1974.

It’s a little late to be asking for Christmas presents, but I still have some wishes… er, suggestions for the next cycle of sports video game titles.

Look, I spend a lot of quality hours on these games (too many, actually) and I love how far they’ve come. But no one is perfect, right? So this is what I would like from EA Sports in the new year.

Thank you, and much appreciated.

NCAA Football 11 – More game day atmosphere.

When you think of college sports, what separates them from the pros? It has to be passion, both for the players and the fans, packed into stadiums with more than 100,000 people. Emotions run high, especially during rivalry games, as students and alumni make up a large part of the crowd. And with big universities in small towns, much of the community joins the team, even drawing non-sports fans into the action. That said, I want to feel like it really is Saturday: I want big stadiums and shaky cameras during critical moments on the road (like NCAA Basketball 10), and I want a lively crowd (often louder than jet engines in real life). . life) to shut out the quarterback. Make the fans run down the field after big wins and let me feel the stadium shake. There’s nothing like a college game day experience and it’s something that will take NCAA Football 11 to new heights.

NBA Live 11 – Best perimeter defense.

I touched on this topic the other day. The offensive AI has improved a lot in NBA Live 10 and it’s a lot of fun to run various plays and sets. The pick-and-roll is effective and it’s very satisfying to hit a tailgate cutter in stride for a bucket. In general, there are plenty of offensive possessions for the basketball addict. But the defense still needs to improve, especially around the three-point line. Shooters like Mo Williams and Steve Nash open up too easily, taking down 3s like layups. Yes, there are plenty of set pieces available, but there must be a reason to use them. Please EA make it harder to drain 3 balls – it will force more offensive creativity and leave defenders less frustrated.

Fight Night Round 5 – More of a “story” in Legacy mode

The touted legacy mode brought a lot of great features to Fight Night Round 4. Having multiple titles and the opportunity to unify belts adds to your career options, along with the ability to switch weight classes. It is also a tough challenge and you are forced to face better fighters as your character advances through the ranks. But what would I like to see? How about more of a story. It’s not WWE, but boxing still has a lot of drama. What about weigh-ins and press conferences, and what about pre-fight trash talk? Above all, money should be back in the equation, along with the opportunity to negotiate the division and pay-per-view revenue. Add excitement to big rematches and use cut scenes to bring stories to life. Fight Night Round 4 is a fantastic boxing game with amazing gameplay and graphics, but a little spice would give it a bit of zing.

NCAA Basketball 11 – Export draft classes to NBA Live

This feature is available with Madden and NCAA Football, and it’s one of the best ideas out there. I grow fond of my players in NCAA basketball and want to pursue their careers at the professional level. So I would love to take my NCAA Basketball graduating players and try to draft or trade them on NBA Live. It will make exploration more realistic and enhance the value of each game. Instead of random newbies, you’ll be more familiar with new players, and since both games run on the same engine, the transition should be seamless. It seems like a natural progression to me and it is likely that we will see it soon. At least I hope so! (psst EA you will sell more games!)

This is more of a confession than a manual on how to steal boyfriends, however feel free to use it however you like.

I always thought I was a model girlfriend but after seeing this sexy top I realize I’m just a boyfriend stealer, end of story.

I have recently been working to correct this defect, although I am taking some time to progress through the usual methods of going cold turkey and therapy.

It is an immensely difficult habit to break. Although I do feel some guilt associated with my behavior, it has not always been my direct intention to steal from said boyfriend/husband. I am fighting a ‘subconscious thought pattern’ (so my therapist says). Those nasty little critters are almost impossible to spot.

I think it stems from the belief that all men are inherently cheaters who cannot be trusted! You might say this is harsh, but I speak not only as a former thief, but as a good friend to many cheating boyfriends. There’s nothing like the inside scoop on a friend to open your eyes to their true nature.

There is also, of course, something very tempting about someone else’s chosen partner. This tempting aspect isn’t a conscious thought process on my part (most of the time I’m not sure they’re already taken), but rather an innate ability to detect that the guy in question is, in fact, a ‘boyfriend’.

They have generally been selected with some care and attention to detail. Kind of like a funny t-shirt that you wouldn’t look twice before seeing on a hot guy. Or a pair of second-hand sexy tank tops that could only get ‘that look’ after many washes and wears by some diligent fashionista.

I’ll start with the coworker. This one is easy to handle, perfect for a beginner, especially if your partner isn’t also a colleague.

First, you need to get their attention from across the desk/lobby/office and smile to let them know they’ve been noticed. However, you’ll need neutral territory to start a conversation, if you don’t already have a chance to talk to them during your average workday.

The staff dining room and water cooler are great spots. No one will feel like their space has been invaded and there is also a definite beginning and end to any conversation in one of these settings. There’s nothing worse than standing there in your sexy t-shirt looking like a jerk; your mouth open with nothing to say and no easy way to end the experience. Delicacy is essential.

Once you’ve established a relationship in the staff dining room, perhaps you can find out when they regularly have lunch and ‘just’ run into them there a couple of times. It’s important to keep it light and friendly at this point. If possible, make sure there are others around. You don’t want the poor soul to feel persecuted!

This should naturally progress to going out for an after work drink at the local pub or bar.

A night out with the boys is always a good entry into the world of friendship. This way, he will feel comfortable dating you and reduce his immediate feelings of guilt if he mentions his current girlfriend. That being said, you should never ask to be invited if it’s a ‘guys only’ night, but I advocate accidentally bumping into them at the preferred venue. It’s always better to have a friend to meet or a good excuse to be around. You don’t want him to know just how enthusiastic you are.

The next step is a departure on a weekend or non-working day. The hospitality industry is great for this because of shift work. This means that there is a greater chance that you will not have the same days off as the current girlfriend. By now you should know what he is attracted to; If you don’t, you’re a lost cause and I want nothing more to do with you.

Be fun, uncomplicated, attractive, and don’t nag! It’s a sock! They are all simple creatures and I am sure they will know what to do when the time comes.

Whatever you do, avoid meeting the current girlfriend, who is usually very nice and beautiful. This does not represent any advantage and may even hinder you. You don’t want to start feeling sorry for the blighter, or worse, they might become friends! Absolutely never wear this http://www.brownturtle.com/index.php?command=customize&design_id=61&g=womens sexy top to the event.

To my next favorite selection group; OOTs (Out-of-towners) are the kids who travel to another city or country to participate in a special event. The event can be anything from a major birthday party to a mate’s bachelor party night. Bachelor parties aren’t my preference though, they’re too messy, but a nice birthday celebration or even an engagement party is a prime place to meet that OOTBF. They are usually ready to party and play while the CGF is safe in another city and unlikely to meet the crowd at the party (which is why she isn’t there).

OOTs will tell you frankly that they are taken and expect you to respect them. She must pretend to respect him, asking relevant and interested questions about her partner.

Once you have some ammunition in the form of information about said partner, you need to show that you’re not like that at all, and then show how much fun you are by being funny and showing off some kind of short temper.

These guys especially don’t want to meet you if you’re a prude. Check out this fun t-shirt http://www.brownturtle.com/index.php?command=customize&design_id=29.

It’s better if you leave the event with a group rather than alone; you want everyone else in the group to be too drunk to remember anything. You are then free to make up your own order of events in the morning, after surreptitiously finding out what everyone else did.

You must make your move from the next location, BUT only AFTER the midnight goodnight call from the current girlfriend! It depends on it; She will know exactly what time it is wherever the OOTBF is. It will be completely useless until this obstacle has been overcome. It would be wise at this point to suggest that you turn off your phone, but he’ll probably be way ahead of you anyway.

He should leave if his reputation is seriously compromised, with his shirt on, of course.

ALWAYS remember that a girl’s best friend is her reputation!!!!!!!!

If you are happy with the information provided above and think you could use it on your next victim, I wish you good luck and all the happiness! You don’t need to read any further.

However, if you’re thinking, this girl isn’t very nice, in fact she could be downright awful, I have something more to say in my defense!

I really am (truly I am) just a sweet and simple girl, check out my photo in this sexy t-shirt http://www.brownturtle.com/index.php?command=customize&design_id=61&g=womens with a head full of romantic notions, but a slightly jaded and cynical perspective, brought about by my very rich life experiences.

The moral of the story ladies is that human relationships are complicated enough without having to question the opposite sex and add a lot of complicated rules to the game.

I think the correct term from economists is ‘free market’ – focus on your own happiness and it should invariably lead to that of the people around you.

In other words, save yourself who can!
