Hi! I’ve been working with Nexum and Neteller, both depositing options for our company, for the past 13 months and I can really say that they are both fantastic!!!. When it comes to credit card depositing there is nothing like Neteller. The way you can process your deposits within minutes and the way we can always send you the money back, most of the time within the same time frame, is just unbelievable. Neteller is a very well-respected company that used to work together with Paypal so you can know they are very serious bussiness!.

However if you want to make your deposits directly from your checking account I would suggest Nexum. Nexum is the company that process our personnal e-checks. Within seconds your deposit will be deducted from your checking account and into the sportsbook and at the lowest fee of only $2 per transaction. Also if you deposit through Nexum that makes us capable to send you your payout back to your checking account.  

I love those two deposit options, I’ve seen that all of our customers are super happy when they use this methods, and we are very capable of helping them out in a very fast way.!!!

Obvious results aside, it was an interesting night for Rock Star: Supernova as Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke, and Jason Newsted deliberated over the final 8 Rockers vying for the lead spot in the new band. What stood out was the brand new shot each singer gets to front the band for an official Supernova song each episode.

Each week we’ll see the rockers trying out a new song in the studio, and then on performance night one rocker will be picked to perform the song for the crowd. Last night it was Dilana (not a huge shock, although Lukas Rossi also sounded quite good) who took that honour, singing lead on the new track, “Leave The Lights On”. Dilana rocked the tune, along with some dancers, but while the song is interesting it ended up sounding a little bit too old school rock ‘n roll. Not a bad beginning, but there was definitely some edge missing.

After that, Ryan Star was given the stage for his encore of Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight”, which sounded mildly less over-the-top than he did it on the performance episode. Still, not my favorite singer, but at least he’s better than Patrice Pike.

Speaking of Patrice, she ended up in the bottom three again, along with Zayra Alvarez and Magni. They all do their thing, but it’s clear right away that Magni has nothing to fear tonight. Zayra performs a song called “Razor Blade” by Blue October, which ends up sounding nothing like the Suprnova song we heard just a few minutes ago. Patrice then followed Zayra with Hole’s “Celebrity Skin”, and manages to do relatively all right.

In the end, and even though I had wished that both girls would get axed this week, it’s Zayra who gets cut from the show. She’s sad, but obviously happy to have had the experience. It’s also all too apparent that while she’s talented, she’s just not right for Supernova.

Next week the show will feature an all request format with fans requesting which singers they want to sing their favorite songs. Head over to rockstar.msn.com to make your request, and check back next week for more Rock Star: Supernova coverage.

GOVERNMENT is willing in any way possible to assist with the upliftment of the horse racing industry in Barbados. This assurance, on behalf of the government of Barbados, was given by Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sport Lionel Weekes last Saturday evening at the Barbados Hilton Hotel.Weekes was delivering the feature address as he deputised for Minister of Sport, Anthony Wood, at the gala celebrating the 21st Anniversary of the Barbados Thoroughbred Breeders Association (BTBA).

It was an evening of pure elegance, with members of the local racing community resplendently attired as they joined the BTBA to make the occasion one that will long be remembered.

In his address, Weekes was mindful that the breeding of thoroughbred horses for racing has developed into an industry providing employment for nearly 2 000 persons.

He noted that the Government is acutely aware of the important contribution of horse racing to job creation, sports tourism  the earning of foreign exchange through the publicity of Barbados as a horse racing destination, the participation of overseas contenders and also through the participation of locals in overseas horse racing.

In addition, he thought that horse racing in Barbados had contributed significantly over the years to sports entertainment for the general public.

He further expressed the view that encouragement, information and education of the thoroughbred breeding industry should be made available to the schools and also to the public, via the print and electronic media. This, he thought, would result in the development and enhancement of the industry and by extension the sport of horse racing. He said: This industry should be looked upon as an investment opportunity. Assistance is therefore needed to help source training and educational programmes from experts in their field to give demonstrations and talks to members of the breeding and racing fraternity.

Every effort must be made to improve and maintain the standard of our local thoroughbred horse racing industry. One of the tenets of the racing industry world wide, is that a racing industry can only be as successful as its breeding industry.

This can be achieved with the establishment of breeding farms at suitable locations throughout the island in order to produce a greater number of horses for racing.

However, this will require careful management and a well trained staff, while the importation of a great number of high quality female horses is necessary in order for our industry to make greater leaps.

He was further mindful that large breeding farms will provide more horses for racing locally, regionally and internationally, as well as horses for sale on the overseas market. This, he thinks, would also create more jobs and earn more foreign exchange for our economy.

Therefore, the movement from this micro level to the macro level cannot be achieved overnight, but with sustained planning and dedication, it can be realised, he added.

Mr. President, members of the Barbados Thoroughbred Breeders Association, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, I congratulate the members of the Barbados Thoroughbred Breeders Association for their hard work and dedication in greatly assisting the horse racing industry. We must be cognisant of the fact that a successful breeding industry is highly important if not indispensable to a good horse racing industry.

I can assure you that the Government is willing to assist in any possible way with your efforts that will contribute to the upliftment of the industry, said Weekes.

On careful examination of the local horse breeding industry, it is realised that the rearing of local horses is indirectly an agricultural pursuit, with its end product destined for the sporting arena. It is therefore necessary for all stakeholders to unite fully in the fight for the continuity of the industry and for the furtherance of success, Weekes added.

Following exqusite dining, awards for outstanding contributions and performances were presented.

1.) Have one tournament per game type and per buy-in amount. There should be only one $1500 No-Limit Hold’em tournament just like there is only one $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em tournament. When reviewing a year’s bracelet winners, you should be able to identify the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Champion the same way you can identify the Main Event Champion. This should be true of every event in every discipline.

2.) Hold a $10,000 Championship Event for every major game type. No-Limit Hold’em (Main Event), Limit Hold’em, 7-Card Stud, and Pot-Limit Omaha should all have a $10,000 World Championship Event. This would add prestige to some of the lesser-known games and add some popularity to the non-No-Limit Hold’em games in the minds of the public. These championship events should be held once a week, in-step with some of the other popular events to ensure there is a major event happening every weekend of the WSOP.

3.) Keep the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E event. The way this year’s event went down, the tournament quickly became the tournament to decide who is poker’s best all-around player. If you need proof, just examine the final table. It was filled with the world’s best mixed-game players. I like making this the mid-point of the series and I enjoyed WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack’s reference to this event as the WSOP all-star game. Keep the event the same and keep it in the middle of the WSOP. While I’m on the topic, I’d also like to add that the final table should continue to be H.O.R.S.E. I think everyone agrees that switching to a No-Limit Hold’em tournament after three or four days of H.O.R.S.E. play is ridiculous.

4.) Add a heads-up event. Daniel Negreanu suggested this in his syndicated blog and I agree with him. Considering the popularity of NBC’s Heads-Up Championship, I agree that adding this event would make for a great WSOP tournament. I do not agree with Negreanu making it a “bracelet-winner-only tournament” because a gold bracelet does not necessarily translate into a good heads-up player. However,I agree the field should be limited. To ensure that only the best players enter the tournament, increase the buy-in to an amount similar to the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E event.

5.) Add a bracelet-winner-only tournament and call it the Tournament of Champions (TOC). If only former bracelet winners can enter this tournament, it will make for exceptional television. I think the last few TOCs have been boring and too invitation heavy. I understand that media outlets like ESPN want to include players from the Main Event final tables because people recognize them, but let’s be real. A tournament of champions should not include people who have never won a tournament. If you’re going to have a TOC, make it a TOC. Sounds simple because it is simple.

6.) Make the WSOP 50-percent Hold’em. That’s what the people want, so give it to them. If most people want to play Hold’em, who is the WSOP to deny their wishes? However, enough is enough. The professional and poker aficionados want to see less Hold’em, so let’s meet half way, make Hold’em the most represented poker discipline, but don’t overdo it by making 75 percent of the events one game-type.

7.) Add a 5-Card Draw event. As Casino City reporter Aaron Todd reminded me, it’s the poker game we all learn first. Plus, I think it can be a very television friendly event, mainly because the professionals might attend in droves and it’s a very bluff-dependent game. Few can resist the charms of such a simple event, but many of us would like to learn how to play it correctly.

8.) Don’t limit the number of players in any event. I had plans to play in the $1,500 WSOP Event #2. I am a low-limit player who wanted to fulfill a simple dream of playing in a smaller WSOP event. When I went to sign up for the tournament, I was told I couldn’t because the event was sold out. Another woman who was standing in line with me met the same fate. Neither of us had the means to extend our Vegas stays, thus, there was no WSOP event for us in 2006. This is not right. The reason poker is so popular is the rag-to-riches story, the ability for anyone to buy-in or qualify for an event and walk away with life-changing money or the all-important gold bracelet. Even if the high participant totals take away from the integrity of the game by adding an additional element of luck, so be it. Poker is only going to grow for so long, so while the game is popular, let anyone who wants to play into the tournaments. By allowing people to fulfill their dreams, WSOP officials are furthering the sport and creating lifetime players who will continue to compete even when poker’s popularity wanes.

First baseman returns to lineup with four hits, two runs

starter who didn’t have his best stuff, a first baseman with a game leg, and a bullpen effort by one pitcher in a tailspin and another looking for his first save.

Add it all up and it equaled a 4-3 Devil Rays win over the Rangers on Monday night in front of a crowd of 7,820 at Tropicana Field.

In winning, the Rays took their first victory of the season against the Rangers to snap a five-game losing streak.

James Shields started for the Rays and held the Rangers’ potent lineup to three runs on eight hits in six innings to earn his sixth win of the season. Included in Shields’ work was a masterful escape job in the first inning, when the Rangers loaded the bases with one out before the rookie right-hander struck out Hank Blalock and Mark DeRosa to end the threat.

“I didn’t have my best stuff tonight,” Shields said. “And the squad we’re facing is probably one of the best hitting squads in the league. … I think any pitcher will tell you, especially a starter, that you probably have your best stuff once a month. And how you deal with not having your best stuff determines whether or not you’re going to be a good pitcher. I think that the first couple of innings, I felt like I didn’t have my good stuff tonight. But that’s just the way it happens sometimes, and you have to battle your way through it.”

Meanwhile, Greg Norton led the Rays’ offense.

Norton had been out of the starting lineup for almost a week while nursing a sore left hamstring — an injury that came at an inopportune time for the offense since the veteran had been swinging a hot bat.

Rays manager Joe Maddon decided Norton needed to be back in the lineup Monday night, so Travis Lee sat and Maddon inserted the game Norton in at first base. The move to spark the offense worked as Norton went 4-for-4 with three doubles and two runs scored.

Batting in the cleanup slot, Norton doubled to lead off the second and scored on Damon Hollins’ single. He doubled in his second at-bat, before hitting a one-out double in the fifth and scoring the Rays’ fourth run on Russ Branyan’s two-out single.

Norton laughed afterward about how the night worked out.

“[Rays trainer] Ron [Porterfield], we kinda made a joke,” Norton said. “He said, ‘You’ll probably go out there and get four hits and be running on it all day.’ But I’ll take it everyday. And we came out with the victory, which we cherish every one of those.”

Protecting a 4-3 lead after six innings, Maddon went to Brian Meadows to pitch the seventh and eighth.

Meadows allowed five runs on six hits in an inning’s work Sunday and allowed 16 runs in his past nine outings. But Monday night, Meadows took care of business, retiring the Rangers’ Nos. 1-6 hitters in order.

“That’s the beauty of being in the bullpen,” Meadows said. “You have a couple of bad outings and know you’re going to be right back in there. You get a chance to have a good one. [Maddon] threw me out there again tonight. He told me he’d try to get me in the game a little more. After the first inning [pitched], I thought I might be done, that he’d let me end on a good note. Just shows how much confidence he has in me, he sent me out there for the second. It was good. Felt good to walk off and shake hands for a change.”

Meadows didn’t feel as if he’d done anything different.

“Tonight, I tried to mix it up a little more and try not to worry about velocity at all,” Meadows said. “Just keep the ball down. And get ahead. Let them try to hit it at somebody, and it paid off for me.”

Meadows then handed the ball off to the enigmatic Seth McClung. The big right-hander was recalled Aug. 3 from Triple-A Durham, where he had worked on becoming a closer. McClung had worked in eight of the Rays’ 14 games since returning to the team, but he had not earned a save until Monday, when he chalked up his first in the Major Leagues by getting three outs in the ninth.

“I just wanted to go in there and get three outs,” McClung said. “I understood the situation and everything, but I just thought, ‘I’ll just go in there and do what I’ve been doing and everything will turn out all right.’”
