While luck is necessary to win at any game in a Vegas casino, table games require some skill too. Practicing at blackjack, craps, baccarat, and poker can make you more comfortable when you actually sit down to play at the casino, increasing your chances of winning. There are a variety of online sites that allow you to “train” at these games without actually gambling.  If you’re unfamiliar with the rules of a certain table game, many Vegas casinos offer free gaming classes to help you learn how to play. A sloppy blackjack dealer might accidentally reveal the face-down as he’s dealing, which can give you back some of the edge. Try watching a few rounds of blackjack to see the dealer’s skills before sitting down at the table. If the dealer has an ace showing, you can opt for an “insurance” bet in the event that the dealer has a 10 in the hole. It’s a side bet that’s treated independently of the main bet, and may seem like a conservative move. However, it can actually increase the house’s edge by up to 7%. For the best chance to win, you should always opt for these bets. They can lower the house edge to as little as 1.4%, putting you in a much better position to take home some money. The “tie” bet, which assumes the dealer and player will tie, carries up to 14.4% house advantage. So while it may seem like a smart bet, you can wind up losing big money. If poker’s your game, you’re better off playing at strip casinos where most of the players will be tourists. At off-strip casinos that are mostly frequented by locals, the players are usually highly experienced and play daily. Unless you’re an expert poker player yourself, they’ll have an advantage over you.

Article: Use a measuring spoon to measure out two tablespoons of baking soda and dump them into the boiling water. Use a wooden spatula or spoon to mix the powder with the water. Once you're done, empty out the kitchenware and dry it off with a rag. Pour a tablespoon of baking soda into a bowl and slowly add cold water and mix them together until it forms a paste that's a similar consistency to toothpaste. Spread an even layer of the paste that you created over the inside surfaces of your Le Creuset. You can do this with your hands or a paper towel. You can also use the paste to clean the outside of your Le Creuset pan or pot. The paste will start to absorb some of the stains created from burning your Le Creuset. The next day, fill a spray bottle with distilled white vinegar. This will help clean the pot or pan, and will break up the hardened baking soda paste. Grab an old toothbrush and dip it into the paste that you just created. Go in a circular motion across the burnt parts of your kitchenware until there is no more baking soda paste. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers like steel wool because they can scratch your Le Creuset. Rinse your Le Creuset under cold water and dry it off with a cotton rag. If the burned stains remain, you can repeat the steps until they start to lighten.

Article: Listerine or a similar mouthwash contains a high percentage of alcohol that will kill live lice and dissolve the nits’ binding to the hair follicle. While some “natural remedy” websites suggest it, be warned that other medical websites do not recommend its use. For one thing, Listerine’s alcohol content can burn the eyes and sting if it comes into contact with open wounds. It could also be accidentally consumed by a child.  If you decide to use Listerine, use it to wet the hair completely and cover with a shower cap for 30 minutes or longer. This will kill the adult lice. Repeat if needed. You can also put the Listerine on your hair and put a towel on your pillow, to keep it from getting wet, and go to sleep and do the remaining steps in the morning. After soaking your hair, flush the Listerine out thoroughly with warm water and apply a generous amount of vinegar to further loosen the nits. Following the above steps, apply a leave-in conditioner or de-tangler, brush the hair, and then use a nit comb to slowly remove the eggs section by section. Clean the nit comb in a dish of soapy water or in the heat of a dishwasher. Also put the Listerine into a spray bottle and spray your nearby furniture. This will kill the adults and help to prevent re-infestation. You can wash any linens, towels, or bedding in hot water. Remember that sustained heat will kill lice and nits.
