Can you do the nine-times tables on your fingers?
When you learn how, you'll never have to stare at the multiplication tables charts for nine again. The best part is, you only need to be able to count in order to learn this!
And if you practice using the finger method, you'll be a whiz at multiplying any digit by nine, and never have to "guess" and hope you're right again.
You can learn it now, in a few simple steps that you'll never forget. But you must remember that it is not meant Rolling Storage Carts Suppliers to be a crutch. You must practice it a lot in order to get it to the point where you don't need to do it on your fingers every time you want to multiply by nine.
At the end of the article, you'll find a great, free resource where you can find a fun way that will make you love to practice it, and it will also teach you why the method works.
Let's get down to multiplying:
First, you have to number each of your fingers. With your hands palms down, thumbs almost touching, start from the left and call your L. small finger, "one." The L. ring finger is "two," the L. middle finger is "three," etc. until you get to the R. pinky, which is "ten."
That was easy!
Now, to multiply any digit by 9, you simply bend the finger that has that number inward. In other words, if you were to multiply nine by three, you'd bend the "three" (that's the L. middle finger). Bend it inwards, beneath your hand.
Notice the number of fingers on the left of the finger that's bent. There should be two of them. That's how many tens there will be, making the answer, "twenty-something."
Next, notice the how many fingers are on the right side of the finger that's bent. There should be seven of them. That's how many units there will be, making the answer, "twenty-seven."
That's it. Your done!
Warning! - This should not be used as a "trick." Don't make it a crutch. Practice it until you know the "nines-times-tables" by heart. If you still need to use your fingers after a day or two to practice, then you really haven't practiced enough.
There is a "master method" for using your fingers to learn to multiply. You only need one method for all the numbers from 6-9, so you don't have to learn a bunch of different "multiplication tricks." You can find out more at Learn to Multiply
We just celebrated Independence Day in the United States

We just celebrated Independence Day in the United States and it got me thinking about being independent. Many of us think we are independent yet we really arent. We are often driven by outside influences, some people refer to them as outside forces, Firewood Racks Factory that work against us
or so we believe. Truth be told, we have all the power to be independent right within us.What does independent mean anyway? Some other words are: self-governing, self-determining, self-regulating and my favorite, free. How many times have you made a decision based on how it would positively affect those around you? Think about it. You believed if you made a certain choice, something you truly wanted to do, that it would upset or inconvenience someone else
so you didnt. You didnt go out to dinner with your girlfriends because your spouse would have to prepare his own dinner on the fly. You didnt attend a one-day seminar on a topic that really interested you because your mom wanted you to help clean out her closets that day. Is that being independent? Its true, we think we are acting of our own free will but instead we often put our own wants, desires and needs aside to please someone else. Now Im not saying for you to stop doing that, what I am bringing to the table is to think about how many times you are acting independently. Dependency is sneaky; sometimes we dont even know we are being that way and falling into the trap. We think were doing something nice for our spouse, our children, our parents, or our friends but then we get annoyed at them becausefor goodness sake!we are doing it for them and they dont even appreciate what were giving up.When you decide to lose weight for someone other than yourself, you are being dependent. When you say yes when you want to say no, you are being dependent. If you truly want to be independent, you must start speaking up and making your needs and wants known. You will also have to be prepared for someone to get upset with you or inconvenienced. Its how it goes. You cant please everyone all the time. Some very simple (yet not often easy) ways for you to empower yourself are:1.Say YES when you really want to.2.Say NO when you really want to.3.Dont be afraid to say NO after you have said YES.Its absolutely amazing when you empower yourself, those around you are both inspired and empowered, too. Dont you think you deserve that? Dont you think your loved ones deserve that? Absolutely, you all do! In the end, the true independence you give yourself will be well worth it. You will be happy with your life and your decisions. You will wholeheartedly be there for those you love, while allowing them to become independent also. Together you will create unity, freedom
and justice for all!
In that case, a Put bet on the point number can have a lower house advantage Stainless Steel Work Tables

Be smart, play smart, learn the right way to play craps!Ever see a craps table with markings that say "Put Bets Allowed?" Surprisingly, few players understand the Put bet.
A Put bet is a Pass Line bet that you make (or "put" down) after the come-out roll. You typically see it when someone walks up to the table in the middle of a game and wants to play the point number. The player will "put" a bet on the Pass Line after the come-out roll. An Odds bet on the Put bet can then be made, if desired. As we know, a Flat Pass Line bet has a 2:1 advantage before the come-out roll but then has a disadvantage after the come-out. So, with a Put bet, you give up that initial advantage before the come-out roll and immediately accept a disadvantage. That's what makes a Put bet a bad idea, generally. The only time the Put bet makes sense is when the house allows a lot of Odds and you bet a lot of Odds. In that case, a Put bet on the point number can have a lower house advantage Stainless Steel Work Tables Suppliers than Placing the point number. Unless you're an experienced player and have a big bankroll to put at risk, avoid Put bets. If you walk up to a table and can't wait for a new game to end, and if you're in love with the point number and just have to play it, you won't be giving away much if you simply avoid the Put bet and, instead, Place bet the point number.
Another type of Put bet is adding to a Pass Line bet during a game after you made the normal Pass Line bet. For example, suppose you make a normal Flat Pass Line bet for $5 and you take the maximum Odds allowed, which the placard says are 5x. That means your maximum Odds bet behind a $5 Flat Pass Line bet is $25 (i.e., $5 x 5 = $25). The shooter seems to be on fire, rolling number after number. She rolls every number possible except the point and the dreaded 7. You feel in your gut that she's going to hit the point, so you want to increase your Odds bet, but you can't because you're already at the maximum Odds allowed for your $5 Pass Line bet. To increase your Odds bet, you "put" another $5 chip on your Flat Pass Line bet bringing your total Pass Line bet to $10. Now, with the maximum Odds allowed, which in this example are 5x, you can add another $25 to your Odds bet bringing your total Odds bet to $50 (i.e., $10 x 5 = $50).
A Put bet can also be a Come bet made without going through the Come bet's come-out roll. (Wow! That was a mouthful.) If a game is already in progress, you can immediately "put" a Come bet with its associated Odds bet. For example, when the stickman still controls the dice in the center of the table and you have the dealer's attention, simply drop the correct amount of chips in the Come area and tell the dealer what you want. Suppose you drop $11 in chips for a Come bet on the 9 with Odds. Simply tell the dealer, "Put me on the Come nine with six dollars in Odds." The dealer moves your chips to the proper spot in the 9 point box and "puts" down a $5 Flat Come bet with $6 in Come Odds.
So youve sat down at the kitchen table

So youve sat down at the kitchen table, wrote some ideasfor an ebook down on paper,found one you liked and thought Where do I go from here? The answer is simple, visitthe forums that relate to your subject. Now dont get allexcited yet young grass hopper,theres proper protocol you must follow! You cant just gointo a forum and copy andpaste the information from other peoples post and call ityour ebook. Thats a big no, no.Well than how do I go about it you ask? How do I get theinformation for my ebookthat I need if I cant just use other peoples knowledge? The answer is you can use otherpeoples knowledge, but only with permission. When you visitthe forum get a feel forhow everyone posts and the hot topics. Read and payattention to the hot topics andnote the major complaints of posters (theres always peoplecomplaining). Approach themoderator(s) of the forum and ask them for permission to usetheir forum to gather theinformation needed for your ebook. All they can do is sayno, when you approach themtell them the idea for your ebook, your real name, address,and telephone number. Themajority of operators will appreciate your honesty and willgive you permission and maybe willing to help you out even more. Once you get theirblessings, you have a lot ofinformation that you will be privy too and that you canactually use. Just talking aboutthis technique makes me drool and you should be droolingtoo. Cant you feel theexcitement? Close your eyes and think about the hugeopportunites that could open upfor you. Not only will you have more than enoughinformation to create your originalinfo product but you should be able to create your backendproduct as well. If you havethe information available to you why not get the consumerfrom both ends? Your helpingthem and their filling your bank account, what more couldyou ask? I used this approachrecently with an ebook that Im creating. Let me explain,the moderator appreciated myhonesty (I even told him and Iron Wood Table Factory all the other members of theforum that I would be chargingfor the ebook.) But before I did this I made one keymistake, one that I learned from.The key is to not just sign up for a forum, ask forinformation and explain that you wouldbe charging for the ebook using only your screen name andnothing about yourself. I didthis, call it paranoia or whatever. I did not know who I wasdealing with, but neither didthe moderator or the members. I completely understood wherethey were coming from.The internet is so much different than the offline world, Ifind people to be much moretrusting in the offline world. Gaining trust on theinternet is liking asking your dentist notto cause you any pain, difficult to do unless he puts youunder. Anyways, my firstapproach flopped big time. One forum member even repliedOh great, another one whowants to profit from our hardwork. The forum moderatorcontacted me by email andexplained that they may be willing to help me if I gave alittle more information aboutmyself such as where I was from etc. God...I felt like sucha bonehead. I couldnt faulthim for that though, I explained to him that I was vague onmy posting of personalinformation because you never know whos looking over yourshoulder on the net...suchas hackers. In the end I told him my real name, address,and phone number. He emailedme back and said thank-you, he stated he felt much morecomfortable in dealing with meand gave me permission to use his forum to gather theinformation I needed. Afterreceiving that email from him, I went back to the forum andfelt I needed to defendmyself a little with the one sceptic. I explained verydiplomatically to the poster that hewas entitled to his opinion, but at least I was being honestabout charging for the ebook.So the moral of the story is honesty is key to using forums(I was being honest, justvague...duh!!), introduce yourself properly...not like I didthe first time. From thatmistake I made I learned another valuable lesson when itcomes to using forums, insteadof just emailing the moderator I will now take it one stepfurther...I will call themoderator via telephone if possible. When I do complete theebook all contributingmembers will get a free copy of the e-book and will becredited with any info they giveme in the book. And the one member that had a problem withmy first post apologizedfor his comment and actually is one of the majorcontributors of information for theebook...go figure eh?Learn from my mistake, good luck in all of your upcomingprojects.Brian.
