Long Island
Long Island is an island in the U.S. state of New York. Stretching northeast from New York Harbor into the Atlantic Ocean, the island comprises four counties, including two (Kings and Queens) that form the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, and two (Nassau and Suffolk) that are farther out on the island and mainly suburban. Although all four counties are part of the greater New York metropolitan area, the name Long Island is often reserved in popular usage for only Nassau and Suffolk counties, as distinct from those lying within New York City proper. North of the island is Long Island Sound, across which are the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island.
With a Census-estimated population of 7,740,208 in 2013, Long Island is the most populated island in any U.S. state or territory, and the 17th-most populous island in the world (ahead of Ireland, Jamaica, and Hokkaidō). Its population density is 5,402 inhabitants per square mile (2,086 /km2). If it were a U.S. state, Long Island would rank 13th in population (after Virginia) and first in population density.

Roulette - How to Win EVERY TIME! Easy Strategy, Anyone can do it! Part 5
See the Updated Win Every Time Video Series HERE:
Roulette, one of the easiest casino games to play and understand. We will go over the best strategy's to win every time, and what to look for in a casino (as in, a casino that has the table setup to give you the best odds). Normally, the best odds are 47.37%, I will show you how to increase it to 94.74% and why it works!
I have just returned from the Casino. It is 3:07 AM. I am over $1,000 richer tonight. I go to the casino on average 3-4 times per week. My lowest nights are + $200. Though, I usually average + $500 to $1,000/night when the casino is slow.
Preferably, you want to go when their are the fewest people at the casino. This will allow the optimal number of hands/rolls to be played in the shortest time, allowing more profit.
To practice at home, print out a roulette table with the double zeros. Get a iPhone app called Pocket Roulette, you use this as your Roulette Wheel. It is a free app, not spectacular, but for free, it works great!
Get some chips. Cheap ones will do fine. Preferably Red ones and Black ones. Blue is a good substitute for Black. If you do not want to use chips. I usually say use Pennies and quarters. Make the penny represent the $5 chip, as this chip is red, and most common one you will use. Quarter will represent a $100 chip.
This will be a multi-part video series. Enjoy!

Suspense: Tree of Life / The Will to Power / Overture in Two Keys
Alfred Hitchcock's first thriller was his third silent film The Lodger (1926), a suspenseful Jack the Ripper story. His next thriller was Blackmail (1929), his and Britain's first sound film. Of Hitchcock's fifteen major features made between 1925 and 1935, only six were suspense films, the two mentioned above plus Murder!, Number Seventeen, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and The 39 Steps. From 1935 on, however, most of his output was thrillers.
One of the earliest spy films was Fritz Lang's Spies (1928), the director's first independent production, with an anarchist international conspirator and criminal spy character named Haghi (Rudolf Klein-Rogge), who was pursued by good-guy Agent No. 326 (Willy Fritsch) (aka Det. Donald Tremaine, English version) -- this film anticipated the James Bond films of the future. Another was Greta Garbo's portrayal of the real-life, notorious, seductive German double agent code-named Mata Hari (Gertrud Zelle) in World War I in Mata Hari (1932), who performed a pearl-draped dance to entice French officers to divulge their secrets.
The chilling German film M (1931) directed by Fritz Lang, starred Peter Lorre (in his first film role) as a criminal deviant who preys on children. The film's story was based on the life of serial killer Peter Kurten (known as the 'Vampire of Düsseldorf'). Edward Sutherland's crime thriller Murders in the Zoo (1933) from Paramount starred Lionel Atwill as a murderous and jealous zoologist.
Other British directors, such as Walter Forde, Victor Saville, George A. Cooper, and even the young Michael Powell made more thrillers in the same period; Forde made nine, Vorhaus seven between 1932 and 1935, Cooper six in the same period, and Powell the same. Hitchcock was following a strong British trend in his choice of genre.
Notable examples of Hitchcock's early British suspense-thriller films include The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), his first spy-chase/romantic thriller, The 39 Steps (1935) with Robert Donat handcuffed to Madeleine Carroll and The Lady Vanishes (1938).
