Beginners' Poker Guide: Free Poker Tournaments
Submitted as: thomasgalvin
Playing poker doesn't have to cost a fortune. Actually it doesn't have to cost a thing. Several poker sites offer free poker tournaments, where you can win real money. These free poker tournaments are often known as poker freerolls. Why are these poker tournaments free to enter? There are several reasons why the poker sites offer these freerolls, and I won't name them all here but just the three reasons I consider the most important from the perspective of the Poker Sites. First it is a way to create good will between the high stakers, who crush the games. These Poker Freerolls often have huge prize pools. Second there are the freerolls used to keep existing players at their site. These freerolls often have a reasonable prize pool and are restricted to players who already had joined real money games. Third there are the ‘no restriction' freerolls. These are mostly used to attract new players. These poker freerolls have relative small prizes but on the other hand they don't cost anything to enter.
Being a beginner in online poker is a risky business - especially if you deposit money. Poker Freerolls offers beginners a unique opportunity to learn the game, win some money and getting used to the poker software. Even if you consider yourself a decent or good poker player in live poker games – you will do yourself a huge favor playing poker freerolls online before depositing money. The difference between live and online poker are way bigger than you should expect.
How should you play these freerolls? This is not the place to give you a full lesson on how to play poker online – go to my website poker-freeroller.com to read more about that – but I will give you a couple of tips here. Poker freerolls are free poker tournaments. This statement is obvious, but has serious implications for how to play these poker tournaments compared to others. As you don't have to worry about the cost of the entry I would recommend you play pretty crazy for a starter. I am not recommending that you should play passive. Playing passive is in general a bad thing to do in poker – of course there are exceptions but these are only exceptions. You need to play aggressive and take big chances when you have the possibility to double, triple or even quadruple. This is extremely important in the beginning of a freeroll. When you have made your doubles just tighten up and play straight forward poker. This will give you two advantages: You have a bigger stack and the other players consider you as a maniac, while you play like tight aggressive nit. Of course you might have lost your entire stack in the beginning of the freeroll as you need to take chances – in that case just start up another poker freeroll. They are for free!(read

Performance Fabrics For Police Uniforms
Submitted as: thomasgalvin
In recent years there have been significant interest and procurement by the law enforcement community to utilize performance clothing gear into their police uniforms requirements. Brands such as Under Armour, Tru-Spec, Blackhawk Warrior Wear, and 5.11 Tactical Gear all have clothing specifically made with features that include moisture wicking, temperature control, anti-microbial and even anti odor. Some of the products with these properties include polo shirts, fleece jackets, underwear, socks and t-shirts.
Therefore, most police equipment supply stores now have stock of these brands and items in addition to the usual suspects of regular police uniforms such as Blauer, Fechheimer, Elbeco and Horace Small. Furthermore, this new segment of specialty clothing has put further pressure on police deparments or agencies shrinking budgets because it is a whole other addition to the regular uniform purchase. Still most departments do not procure these items for their officers and it has been the responsibility for the officers themselves to purchase. Since there are hundreds of dealers of these products, many are seeking the best deals online which can be bought at police equipment supply stores such as Police Equipment Depot, Cops Plus and Quartermaster. These companies offer everyday discounted prices and also offer weekly and monthly specials and deeper discounts as well.
The movement of performance does not only include the under gear and sportswear clothing that were the first adopters of these new fabric technologies. This trend in clothing will be further embraced in the coming years by mainstream police uniforms manufacturers. Stretch fabrics that include a mix of polyester, cotton or rayon with spandex or lycra have been utilized to increase the freedom of movement for officers and agents in the field. One example specifically can be seen by many motor officers nationwide. Many departments had traditionally worn 100% polyester breeches or even a mix of Polyester and Wool or 100% wool. Today many have embraced a closer match to tradition uniform pant look with similar pockets and belt loops but are now using breeches made from stretch fabrics that include spandex, polyester and cotton. This example was taken by the performance gear in the equestrian industry as many horse jockey's pants made from similar fabrics. One manufacturer of clothing that also offers police equipment supply that has embraced this includes INTAPOL Industries out of Jersey City N.J. Their spandex stretch motor officer breeches have made the daily duty of a motor office substantially more comfortable. In addition their breeches are DuPont teflon coated which makes them water resistant.(read

Staple Items Utilized By Police And Military
Submitted as: thomasgalvin
One of the staples for any law enforcement departments uniform program is the police badge it chooses. There are many badge manufacturers but only 2 of them offer outstanding quality which are Smith & Warren and Blackington. Both companies offer and excellent products that also include a wide variety of finishes, lifetime warranty, badge repair and custom options. Although you might pay slightly higher for these brands, they both can be trusted to deliver a great product. In addition both companies offer a great online marketing tool in which you can create your badge online and see it before purchasing. This gives the department or end user more comfort in their purchase as all badges are made to order.
Smith & Warren offers 3 to 4 week delivery as well as lifetime warranty. In most cases, they are also the less expensive alternative than Blackington. They have a nationwide dealer network that includes many of the finest police uniform stores and online police equipment e-commerce sites. Police Equipment Depot has included Smith & Warrens police badge builder directly on it's site, once you build your badge they will provide you with quote.
Another staple for departments and agencies in the law enforcement community is the use of police and military body armor for regular patrol and tactical situations. There are dozens of manufacturers but only a select few have become trusted brands. Some of the innovative trusted brands include GH Armor Systems and Armor Express. Both offer police and military body armor. The difference between the two are basically the outer carrier options and the specific threat levels required for field use. Most police body armor includes soft armor that might also utilize soft or hard trauma plates. Military body armor will include outer tactical carriers that can hold 10 x 12 hard ceramic plates or Polyethylene plates which will defend against the most powerful rounds and threats. Military body armor is typically much heavier than police body armor and in many cases can range from 15 to 20 pounds. Depending on the exact requirements, choosing the correct carrier is extremely important and the unit or troop must specifically consider what gear they will be needing to carry with them on their outer carriers. Molle strips to attach gear pouches are usually standard on most military body armor. Several of the online destinations where models can be easily purchased include Galls, Quartermaster and Police Equipment Depot.(read

Buying Cheap Baby Clothes Does Not Mean Buying Cheap
Submitted as: thomasgalvin
For many years marketers have used the power of pricing to establish a value proposition in consumers' minds. Expensive has quickly become synonymous with quality and luxury and it's time we took a look at the facts. If you bought cheap baby clothes for $5 on a baby deals website you would automatically assume they were of poor quality because of the price but have you considered what the real value is of the baby clothes
and kids stuff you buy?
Retailers are sitting on a 200 – 300% mark up on all the goods they are selling. Take a $200 top from a high end retail store. This store bought this top from the distributer for $50 and the distributor took a 10%
distribution fee from the wholesaler who bought the top from a factory somewhere in the world for $20. (Keep in mind that the factory still made a profit from selling the top for $20 in the first place.) If you bought the top for $20 it wouldn't hold the same quality perception or brand value in your mind – would it? It's important to remind ourselves that when we buy from traditional retailers we are also paying for their rent, staff, electricity and equipment.
Baby Deals websites such as Bargain Babee are bridging the gap between wholesale and retail by cutting out the fat that's added on with lengthy distribution supply chains. Consumers get to buy cheap baby clothes and other great baby deals at prices wholesalers would buy the item at simply because they are buying as a group and as a group can share in bulk buying discounts.
Another consideration when shopping for your kids is the fact that you should not have to pay a premium for an item that's going to be outgrown faster than the changing fashion. It makes sense to shop smart, look out
for overstock sales and bay and kids deals websites. Everyone loves a bargain and it certainly does not mean you are buying cheap in all senses of the word. It simply means us as consumers are paying less
towards unnecessary overheads as the retailers have cut their profit margin. On a side note, it is important to mention that traditional retailers will always have a place in the market but there will need to be a shift in their pricing strategies for them to keep up with the highly competitive market place that online retailing is now creating.
Sometimes coming across a baby deal too good to be true is just that a great baby deal on cheap baby clothes so GRAB it! With the increase of deal and sales websites, the world of retailing as become super
competitive and the people who are ultimately going to be benefit the most is you, the consumer. Keep an eye out for baby deals, save the extra dollars and take the family on a holiday.(read
