Serta demikianlah cemilan ini dinamakan sesuai dengan nama bangsawan Inggris.
Umumnya kasino tidak mempunyai jam pada dinding. Ini ialah asumsi umum yang diterima jika perusahaan kasino menahan pemakaian jam dinding sebab mereka ingin membuat pemain mereka konsentrasi pada permainan. Demikian juga, kasino tidak mempunyai jendela untuk hilangkan rujukan waktu serta siang hari, sebab beberapa pemain dengan cara teoritis kehilangan jejak waktu serta bermain semakin lama.

Hello everyone! Figured we would keep a running list of the upcoming shows with times and the opening act since that seems to be a common question! The times should all be the local time. Please let me know any corrections. I will keep this updated with new dates and announcements! Also figured I'd add a basic "schedule for the show" day since that seems to be a common question as well. Day of show rundown
Doors are at whatever time
8 PM - opening band should start
8:30/45 - opening act ends, set change begins
9 PM - The Killers come on
11 PM - The killers finish
Please check your venue for actual times. Times are subject to change based on the band and venue, so these are approximations based on experiences of users from recent shows. I just edited it based on my experience as well as some more feedback from other shows.
I haven't done this before, but someone requested it, so I'm gonna see what I can do. As you guys know, I post my weird stats every week, and you can check out the week 9 thread here. Thanks for all the support on that. So, with that in mind, did the stats hold up this week? Obviously, I'm only taking a look at the stats that could've changed this week; anything involving historic things (like the Packers/Panthers game from 1999) or future things (like Broncos' Super Bowls in relationship to songs) won't be looked at. With that being said, let's take a look.
The last time the Rams won an outdoors game against the Vikings was in 1985.
Vikings win. That one holds up.
The Rams have never won a game played against the Vikings in the month of November in Minnesota. The Rams are 0-5-1 in those games.
Make that 0-6-1. Vikings win.
A music-related stat: The Panthers have won four times against the Packers. All 4 times have been when the #1 album of the previous year, according to Billboard sales, was one word.
Year of Panthers’ Victory
Previous Year’s #1 Album
1999
Titanic (1998)
2000
Millennium (1999)
2005
Confessions (2004)
2008
Daughtry (2007)
Luckily for the Panthers, last year’s #1 album was… Frozen. Based off of that stat, there’s a chance for Carolina on Sunday.
That one held up. The music related one still works somehow.
Additionally, the Panthers have won 4 times against the Packers. When the Packers lose to the Panthers in the regular season, they have never made the postseason. Keep in mind that since Carolina entered the league, Green Bay has only missed the playoffs 5 times; 4 of those were when playing and losing to the Panthers.
Don't think that one's gonna hold up, but with the Vikings tied for first in that division now, you never know.
The turnover margin in games between Tennessee and New Orleans has been exactly 1 five times. When the turnover margin is exactly 1, Tennessee is 5-0. When the turnover margin is anything other than 1 in favor of Tennessee, Tennessee is 2-5-1.
Make that 6-0. Titans won the turnover battle by exactly 1.
New England has beaten Washington three times. All three times have been when the #1 R&B/Soul/Hip-Hop single of the year, according to Billboard, was sung by a female artist AND had a 3-word title.
Year of Patriots Victory
#1 Single of Previous Year
1972
Mr. Big Stuff (Jean Knight- 1971)
2007
Be Without You (Mary J. Blige- 2006)
2011
Un-Thinkable (I’m Ready) (Alicia Keys- 2010)
When the song does not meet that criteria, New England is 0-6. The #1 R&B/Soul/Hip-Hop single of last year was “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. Good news for Washington.
Doesn't hold up anymore. New England won.
The three times that New England won against Washington, the host city of the EuroVision Song Contest was hosting for the first time. In 1972, Edinburgh hosted for the first time ever. In 2007, Helsinki hosted for the first time ever. And, in 2011, Dusseldorf hosted for the first time ever. Unfortunately for New England, the host of the 2015 EuroVision Song Contest (Vienna) hosted the contest in 1967, so it was not their first time hosting. More good news for Washington.
Doesn't hold up. The 2 music stats can't save Washington today.
Since 1990, the Bills have swept the Dolphins eight times. Again, we’re doing a music related stat. The #1 song of the previous year was a multi-word title.
Year of Bills Sweep
#1 Single of Previous Year
2013
Somebody That I Used to Know (Gotye featuring Kimbra- 2012)
2007
Bad Day (Daniel Powter- 2006)
2006
We Belong Together (Mariah Carey- 2005)
2004
In da Club (50 Cent- 2003)
1999
Too Close (Next- 1998)
1994
I Will Always Love You (Whitney Houston- 1993)
1991
Hold On (Wilson Phillips- 1990)
Why do I bring this up? The #1 single of last year was “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. The Bills won the first game of the series earlier in the year, so they can buck the trend if they can pull out the victory on Sunday.
Doesn't hold up anymore. Bills completed their sweep of the Dolphins with the #1 single being 1 word.
Every game played between the Jaguars and Jets in the month of November has been decided by 3 points or less
It was 5 points. Close, but no cigar.
The longest winning streak in the Jags/Jets series is 3. The Jets can match that with a win on Sunday
Jets matched that with their victory.
The last time the Jaguars beat an AFC East opponent on the road was in week 5 of 2010 against the Buffalo Bills
Still holds up. That's not good.
The last time the Jaguars won a road game was in week 13 of 2013 against the Cleveland Browns
Yeah... um...
The last time the Jaguars’ game following the bye week was against a non-divisional opponent and they won was in 2007, when they faced the Kansas City Chiefs coming off of their bye week
I don't wanna talk about it...
The last time the Jaguars won a road game in November against a non-divisional opponent was in 2009 against the New York Jets. They play the Jets this week.
You can imagine I wasn't a happy camper with today's game.
The last 4 meetings between the Jaguars and Jets have taken place in 4 differently named stadiums: Alltel Stadium (2006), Giants Stadium (2009), MetLife Stadium (2011), EverBank Field (2012)
Trend is over. MetLife Stadium hosted the game today.
Oakland is 0-3 against Pittsburgh in the month of November
Make that 0-4. Steelers win in dramatic fashion
Eli Manning has never lost to Tampa Bay
Still holds up, even if the Vegas casinos had a field day with the final few seconds of that game
Blaine Gabbert has never won a game played west of Indianapolis.
That wasn't supposed to happen
Blaine Gabbert has never thrown more than 2 touchdown passes in a game.
He threw 2 today. Doesn't break it, but hey, baby steps
In the last 2 meetings between the 49ers and the Falcons, the losing score was 24 points
16 points today by the Falcons lost it. That one doesn't hold up.
The last time the Eagles swept the Cowboys and didn't finish with a .500 record or better was 1964. Basically, sweeping the Cowboys almost guarantees success for Philadelphia.
We don't know if that's held up yet, but today's win was a very good sign for the Eagles, even though it wasn't a sweep.
Sam Bradford has never beaten the Dallas Cowboys. Considering the fact that Matt Cassel's completion percentage against the Eagles is over 75%, this may not be in a guaranteed win for Philly.
And... debunked. Sorry, Cowboys' fans. Bradford got his first win.
I'm trying to make a list of films that best capture the culture of a city. What are some movies (new or old) that capture some of the world's biggest cities?
Thanks for all the responses. Keep them coming! Here is the list I have so far: Helsinki: The Man Without a Past Reykjavik: Jar City Stockholm: Girl with a Dragon Tattoo Oslo: Oslo, 31. August Rome: La Dolce Vita, Roma Paris: Breathless, Amelie Dublin: The Commitments New York (Manhattan): Manhattan, Taxi Driver Brooklyn: Do the Right Thing Los Angeles: Chinatown, LA Confidential Las Vegas: Casino Montreal: Eldorado Berlin: Wings of Desire, Symphony of a City Hong Kong: Chungking Express Beijing: Beijing Bicycle Tokyo: Cafe Lumiere, Enter the Void, Lost in Translation, Tokyo Story Quito: A Tus Espaldas Havana: Soy Cuba Of course all of these are up for debate!
Is there anywhere in Europe similar (Climate, culture and laws) to Las Vegas?
I've always wanted to live in Europe, and I maintain that one day I will. I don't care about casinos so much, but everything else in Vegas is just "home" to me. Is there anywhere in Europe like that? So far Spain and Italy seem to match climate for the most part. Laws seem to be pretty uniform around the EU. Small differences here and there. Mostly looking for culture and a lack of snow. Updated: Home now. Time to expand a bit. I'm looking to somewhere with a Vegas climate, and it seems Spain is my most likely bet there. Somewhere central like Madrid though, as the coast will be too damn humid. The economy is crap, and I presently have no marketable skills, but I can speak enouh Spanish that I wouldn't be -totally- lost. And the climate is preferable to, say, Helsinki. I've also considered Frankfurt am Main, as my boss lived there for a long time and says it doesn't snow a whole lot or last long when it does. And I've been in love with Germany since I was a kid. German proved a lot harder for me to learn, as I wasn't constantly surrounded by it as I was with Spanish at the time... When I'm talking about culture, I mean more of the "live and let live" attitude that Las Vegas has, as opposed to, say, the "nose where it doesn't belong" attitude that comes with Salt Lake and the suburbs. And also a case of safety. I'm not from suburbia, so I'm not as afraid as someone might be, but I also don't want to have to risk being jumped between my front doocar, or my front door and the train. I know Spanish v French, or even Madrid v Barcelona culture is going to be a massive change from what I'm used to now. And personally, I think for the better. I'm a history buff and America, at least the west, doesn't have as much history as even the newest sections of Europe. Hopefully that helps clear things up as to what I'm looking for.
[WP] God has a gambling problem The Mirage Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas - 2:41 AM “Sorry kid,” the bouncer said, not sounding sorry at all, “No shirt, no shoes, no service.” The harsh light mounted over the back alley door revealed a shirtless, barefoot young man with sand across half his chest and a surfboard under one arm. “Please step aside. I am just here to pick up my Father. I’ll be gone in ten minutes.” The bouncer didn’t budge from his spot in front of the door. “Did ya not hear me, kid? You gonna get herpes from some junkie’s needle if you keep walking around like that. You straight off the set of Point Break or something?” With a soft oath, the young man glanced up and down the alley before dropping his surfboard and fishing a few bills out of his board shorts. “Guess we are speaking the same lingo after all, kid.” As the bouncer went to grab the cash, the door behind him slammed into his back, and a slight woman darted out and batted his hand away. “Carson! I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that. You’d be damned if the boss caught ya taking bribes.” “Sorry Marcie.” She gave the bouncer a quick up and down, as if to verify his sincerity, before turning to the young man, “And JC! I thought your father taught you better than that.” “Well, he’s sure setting a great example now,” the young man muttered, as he bent to pick up his surf board from the pavement. Marcie’s stern demeanor melted away, and she ushered the man inside to a dingy hallway. “Oh, you poor thing. How many times have I told you, call ahead if you’re coming. What are you doing, using this filthy side door?” JC blushed, looking down at his bare feet. “I’d rather as few people as possible knew I was here. Talk about setting bad examples. Can you imagine the headlines?” “Oh no, dear, of course. I wasn’t thinking.” They came to a stop by a peeling door, and Marcie unlocked the door with shaking hands. “I sure am glad you’re here. The stakes are getting rather high.” JC paused, one hand on the doorknob. “Princess Diana-high or Black Plague-high?” Marcie grimaced and tugged the end of her graying ponytail. “I don’t know. But Michael told me they were up to transatlantic flights before your dad kicked him and Gabe out an hour ago.” “Looks like we’ll both be cleaning up messes tonight. Bless you, Marcie.” He pushed open the door and emerged into a gambler’s paradise. Tables for roulette, blackjack and pool were strewn across the floor seemingly without end, and a glittering onyx bar beginning near the door faded into the smoky blackness of the room. Scantily clad waitresses strutted back and forth, carrying trays of drinks into the darkness, but all of them gave a card table near the bar a wide berth. JC headed there. One of the men at the table went to pour both occupants more scotch and caught sight of the furious young surfer. With a disappointed sigh, he asked “Jesus, you couldn’t take two seconds to put on a shirt before visiting?” The other man threw back his scotch. “JC’s in Fiji, surfing. Speaking of which, I raise you Kiribati.If I win this hand, you have to delay it from sinking into the sea for another hundred years.” JC clasped a hand around his Father’s, stopping him from shoving more chips into the center of the pockmarked table. “Actually, Dad, I’m right here. And you really need to stop gambling with people’s lives.” “Oh come now,” the other man said, swirling his scotch. “Your father knows what he’s doing. And he’s been winning all night. Why not now?” “Yeah, JC,” slurred God, turning around to face his son. “It’s my lucky night.” JC hooked his hands under his father’s arms and pulled him upright. “Come on Dad. What would Mom say if she saw you like this?” “I think dear Mary would realize that the ends justify the means. Your father stopped a school shooting in St. Louis, a mine collapse in Peru and a train derailment in Helsinki.” JC glared at the smug man across the table from his father. “Shut up, Uncle Luc. Nobody asked you.” Lucifer swept up God’s fallen hand and shuffled the deck. “Then I will see you next time, old sport. Don’t look at me like that, Jesus. There will be a next time. You of all people know how very…tempting I can be.” JC dragged his father out of Lucifer’s den of inequity, past waitresses scrupulously avoiding eye contact, past a relieved Marcie and a stunned Carson, and into a waiting limo in the alley. As the limo pulled away, God poured himself a scotch from the mini bar “My car…” JC leaned back into the plush upholstery. “I’ll tell Gabriel to pick it up tomorrow, when he settles your tab.” God looked out the window, as the lights of Las Vegas flashed by. “Didn’t you have a surfboard a minute ago?” “Don’t change the subject Dad.” Both Father and Son watched the replica Statue of Liberty emerge from between two high rises as the limo swung onto the freeway. “You know, the Isère, the French ship bearing the Statue of Liberty, was doomed to sink while crossing the Atlantic. But I won its safe passage in a single hand of Blackjack with Satan.” “Yeah, Dad, I know. But you also lost the Titanic, and the Sultana and the Le Joola.” Jesus ran a hand through his long hair, showering his shoulders and the seat with sand. “And now it’s not just boats, now it’s trains and cars and planes, Dad!” “Jesus, I know, I know. Sometimes I dig myself into a hole. I lose big, and people blame me. ‘Oh God, why did you let this tornado destroy my house?’ Well, I had a straight, but Lucifer had a full house. But I win a lot too, and almost nobody notices when I win. The media doesn’t have a field day with a troubled kid who decides to seek counseling instead of taking a gun to class, or a storm that never happens.” “Well maybe we should have a weekly bulletin. ‘Dear Christian Faithful, this week, God won some lives playing poker, read about it on page 3.” God ignored his sarcastic son. “And is it a moral burden, that some people have died because of my actions, while others have lived? Of course, but none of them would have existed but for me. I am no stranger to the weight of life and death. Perhaps my methods are unbecoming. Perhaps gambling is a vice. Yet, humans gamble with their lives everyday, so why shouldn’t I get to join in the fun? God laughed bitterly. “No, no, no. I just wish…I just wanted to help ease the suffering of humanity. I played the Devil’s game. I will never forgive myself for the bargains I have made, for the bets I have placed, but I could never have forgiven myself if I hadn’t taken the opportunity to perhaps change the world for the better.” “Nice monologue Dad. No wonder nobody goes to church anymore. You’re all doom and gloom.” “Well that’s not true,” God snapped, sobriety abruptly returning. “Number’s have been up ever since Francis took office.” “Whatever Dad,” Jesus stood up in the limo, space bending to accommodate this movement. “I’m going back to Fiji. Have fun telling Mom where you go every Friday night. Spoiler alert: I already told her you weren’t at Bible study.” And Jesus vanished with a completely unnecessary crack. God glared at the spot where his Son had been just moments ago. “I already knew that! I’m omniscient!” Of course, the sand his Son had left behind gave no response. “Crap.” Even though only a few hours have gone by, I can already tell that long-windedness is a serious problem of mine. Not every detail or "witticism" that crosses my mind needs to make it onto the page (or at least shouldn't survive to the final draft [not that this is a final draft]).
