Winning Jackpot Stories

If you are looking for the true ‘dream makers’, that award goes to the ever-increasing progressive jackpots.
I have compiled some of these Winning Stories to brighten your dreams tonight.
It’s Magic
Celeste has worked for years in the family’s equipment rental business and recently sold the company.
Six months ago, her mother gave her a lucky pendant and she is certain she is responsible for the win.
In addition, her father gave her a $100 bill for the trip and told her to use that money to buy chips for herself.
Therefore, he’s now positive that his $100 gift is responsible for her new fortune. Celeste was so touched by what her father said after hearing of her win. He said, “Celeste, you’ve always done for others, now you can do for yourself.”
Let’s back up a bit while Celeste McCormick of Albany, GA tells her story:
“It was one of those magical nights when we couldn’t lose. We were having such fun and winning on almost every machine we chose to play. We’re not big gamblers, but maybe now we will be!”
Senior Golf Can Be Your Best Years?Here?s How
June 20, 2007
Senior golf is accepted by the golfing community as a decline in performance that is inevitable. I’m here to tell you that’s incorrect! In no way does this have to happen.
For the senior golf player it may be more difficult to maintain a high level of performance, but not altogether impossible. You see, your body is the only factor that ultimately speeds up or slows down your performance as you get older.
It’s a fact that physical decline takes place as we age; and for some of us, it’s much quicker.
The senior golfer usually thinks it’s a flexibility issue, and it may very well be. But I’m here to tell you strength declines just as rapidly.
The solution is a golf fitness program geared to your needs and your current level of fitness. Starting at a point that is beyond your limits will result in failure and the never-ending pursuit for the "magic bullet".
The aspects you should regard are: Strength, flexibility, endurance and even nutrition. These are the components of a total golf performance program, and should all be addressed. If one is left out, it could delay progress indefinitely.
Choosing Casino Bonuses

Choosing Casino Bonuses
by: Roger Wembley
Casino bonuses are offered by some online casinos so that they can encourage their players to keep playing in their site. Some casino bonuses offer free money for certain games. And others offer to double or triple the deposits of the player. But, are casino bonuses advantageous to online casino players?
Some online casino players ignore casino bonuses. They believe that casino bonuses are not real. They believe that offering casino bonuses is just a method of online casinos to strip more money from the players. And they already had an experience with casino bonuses which left a bad taste in their mouth. The reason for their negative opinion is that there are numerous so-called online casinos that offer deceptive bonuses.
Yet, there are casino players who love the bonuses offered by online casinos. These players come back again and again to a certain online casino because of the bonuses offered by this particular online casino. These players have become loyal to the online casinos. Obviously, these players have chosen the credible online casinos that offer real bonuses.
Classical Music - How I Was Magically Mesmerized

Classical Music - How I Was Magically Mesmerized
by: Tania French
Got the chills on Saturday while attending a grand event. Another performance on Sunday left me in the cold.
This is a tale of two performances, which took place less than 24 hours from each other but were light-years apart. One breathed life into me, while the other wallowed the afternoon away in blandness.
I’ll give you some of the nitty gritty details from yesterday’s classical music concert - in the form of a few tips for the performers.
Always, always share your gifts with your audience. Look them in the eyes, bare your soul and touch their hearts, or else you’ll leave them hanging.
Never abruptly end a song. Let the last note sing - that’s when the magic happens - in the silence following the final note.
Make eye contact with your fellow performers. If you don’t relate to the people you’re making music with, how on earth do you expect sparks to fly with your audience.
Take delight in your performance. Your joy will infect your listeners with the special magic that all of us crave.
How To Play Better Golf… It?s Not What You Think
June 18, 2007
Playing better golf is the lifelong pursuit of every golfer on the planet. Why else would we subject ourselves to one of the most humbling games (sport) ever?
I mean, how many times have you come off the course ready to give it up?
I’m dead serious!
You drive home saying never again! But?you go to the range the next day, or even the same day, after you’ve cooled down.
Man, what a glutton for punishment! Just hours before, you got totally humiliated, and now you’re back for more.
The vicious cycle a golfer goes through every season.
So let me guess. You’ve bought equipment (lots of it). Taken lessons. And pound hundreds of balls every week.
Am I close?
The 6 million dollar question is?have you gotten better? Are you happy with your game? Are you driving it as far as you’d like?
If not, what now?
There’s only one thing left.
YOU!
You’re body is keeping you from the game of your dreams. The game you know you’re capable of playing. Doesn’t that make sense? If you’ve tried all the above and still are not satisfied.
How Dangers Of Parachuting Can Be Counteracted With A Military Parachuting Manual

How Dangers Of Parachuting Can Be Counteracted With A Military Parachuting Manual
by: John Ewing
A military parachuting manual can be a very helpful text. Parachuting is one of the most dangerous activities available. Simple problems like having an improperly folded parachute can kill you. Moreover, not clearing the plane in an appropriate descent is very dangerous. The parachutist must also have all of the appropriate equipment in order to survive. Military parachuting manuals offer information on a number of topics. One United States Army manual contains information that not only helps the crew understand their duties both in the ground and on the air during a jump, but it also discusses key positions within a jump unit, the equipment necessary for a jump, and the jump protocol.
The Royal Air Corps military parachuting manual lays out a number of different rules for student parachutists before they are allowed to have the ability to jump. A ground crew must be able to send a message to the plane communicating wind direction and speed. They must also be allowed to abort the mission if necessary. This helps to keep the jumpers safe. Also, all jumpers have to have two reserve systems in the event of a jumping emergency. Moreover, students must jump with approved, certified coaches to keep them safe. Along with that, students will not be cleared to jump by themselves until they have undergone the necessary training and certification procedures. In order to become certified, students have to undergo a series of jumps at different heights.

How to Integrate Weight Training Properly into Your Golf Exercise Program
by: Sean Cochran
Are you too confused about weight training for golf?
There are many opinions in the golf world on whether weight training is beneficial or counter-productive to the golf swing.
On the PGA Tour it is a well-known fact that the majority of professional golfers are implementing golf fitness exercises into their training regimen. The goal of such golf fitness exercises is to improve their play on the golf course.
First and foremost, as a professional strength and conditioning coach on the PGA Tour, I see the benefits of a golf specific exercise program are well documented.
The confusion for most amateur golfers probably centers around what specific training modalities and exercises should they include in their golf fitness programs and what are the professional golfers doing.
I get a lot of questions on how are the professional golfers programs set-up, what specific exercises do they incorporate in their programs, and are the exercises in such programs similar to those found in local health clubs. A lot of people ask me if they should include actual dumbbell and barbell exercises into their golf exercise program.
3 Simple Golf Tips To Quickly Improve Your Distance
June 15, 2007
Every golfer wants to know the secret golf tip to improve their distance. The secret, is there is NO secret. It’s common sense, and treating golf like a sport. The golf swing is not for the weak and feeble anymore.
Any golf tips you hear to improve distance should somehow be directly or indirectly related to the physical side of the golf swing. I mean?don’t you think the swing puts a tremendous amount of pressure on your body, especially your lower back?
To alleviate this pain and quickly improve your distance takes strength and stretching, specific to your body and your golf swing.
So the quick fixes (band aides) you hear in all the magazines and on the golf channel are short-term fixes. You won’t be able to consistently duplicate it until you improve your physical limitations.
So let’s get to these simple, yet valuable tips.
Tip #1:
Perform a dynamic warm-up prior to the first tee. Don’t ever skip it. It is more important than hitting balls before you play. How many times do you see a professional athlete go on the field and start playing? Never. That’s my point.
Despite Media Reports, Vince Young’s Wonderlic Score Still Unknown

Despite Media Reports, Vince Young’s Wonderlic Score Still Unknown
by: John Onan
As usual, the mainstream media blows another non-story from the world of sports WAY out of proportion- even worse, the news over the weekend about Texas quarterback Vince Young’s Wonderlic score is likely inaccurate to boot.
Young, who is currently in Indianapolis at the NFL Combine, was reported to have scored a woeful 6 on the 50 question test that has been used by NFL executives as a scouting tool to measure a draft prospect’s intelligence.
A spokesman for the NFL has stated that scores do not come out until a week after the combine, so as of now these reports are not only pure speculation on the part of the media, but also border on slanderous if we find out a week from now that he actually scored higher.
According to more reliable sources, Young actually scored a 16, which doesn’t exactly make him a genius, but is simply below average compared to 2005 draft hopefuls. I’m sure if this is the case, the major sports networks and newspapers won’t provide us with wall-to-wall coverage of how badly they goofed; the damage has already been done.
