The odds at the bar don't change, or do they?
"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." - Heraclitus
But when it comes to gambling, the odds stay the same independent of how many times you try. The game stays the same, the rules stay the same, the odds stay the same. So if you decide to go to a casino or gamble online, you always need to remember that. You can't hope for a girl getting drunk, you can't hope for the odds to change in your favor. Gambling is entertainment and so it should be, even if some people have managed to make a life out of it, these are exceptions not rules. Gambling for all others should be taken as entertainment like watching a movie, maybe just a bit different in terms of the adrenalin it creates. When gambling, always remember to use your GameSense. And when you're at the bar, well, remember, even there miracles don't happen every day.

The rise and rise of Ellen Page
Ellen Page is without question the woman of the moment in Hollywood right now. With a Best Actress Oscar nomination recently stacked up alongside a list of achievements for her turn in ‘Juno’, including being named the Breakthrough Actress of the Year at the Hollywood Film Festival, she is, to coin a lovingly overused tinseltown term, ‘hot’ right now. Piping hot.

Between a Rock and a Heart Place
Screw Geoffrey Chaucer. Not for his poetry, quite honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever read any of it, but because apparently he inadvertently created Valentine’s Day. I didn’t know this until recently. I just assumed the holiday was the byproduct of greeting card company greed and lack of anything better to do in the month of February, but evidently it’s been around for quite some time.

Halle Berry burns at the box office
Buried deep within the embers of grief, a spark of friendship ignites in relationship drama 'Things We Lost in the Fire'. However, while this thoughtful, emotional film delivers some strong performances and appealing cinematography, don't expect a blaze of drama and excitement.

Girls Aloud or Girls Alone?
Despite having fame, wealth, beauty and a hugely successful pop career, the members of Girls Aloud seem to be lacking in one department - a happy and healthy love life.

Great American Dumb Ideas: Elder Blues
Fads in mental health diagnoses come and go. Something called Existential Neurosis was popular for a while, but seems to have lost some of its gloss in recent years. For a long time now, any high-energy, active child risked being diagnosed—often misdiagnosed—with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).
