This Is Different
I have to admit that, at times, I write things in this blog that are rather silly, but not this time my friends. This time is something different, something unusual, something unique!
I realize that Summer is still here and all that. And, of course, being male means I don't normally start thinking about holiday gifts until the holidays are much closer. But, I found this website that just blew me away with their great ideas. This site is perfect for everyone on your holiday list, from family to friends, heck, even your boss. And the best part is that it is all tax deductible.
It's very simple, yet astounding. What you do is you buy a gift card to give to someone on your shopping list. Then the person that you gave the gift card too can then go to the website and pick one of 100 charities to donate the money too. Meaning, of course, that both you and the person you give the gift card too get to feel good, having helped out a charity. We all know that charities always need help. What better way to help than this?
If you are a business, they even can help you promote that business by putting your logo on the card. How cool is that?! This gift is perfect. Got someone that is a pain in the neck to shop for? Give them this card. Know someone but not quite well enough to know what is an appropriate gift for them? Buy them this card!
You can get these wonderful gift cards two ways, plastic cards or ecards. Either way you get the card I'm certain that the person that gets it will be delighted.
This year do something completely unusual with your holiday spirit, help someone in need. Get one of these great holiday gift cards now and start spreading the good works around. Click on the link and feel good.

Inching my way along
I'm getting closer to an invitation to the $500 Monday night poker tournament! I've finished in the top 20 the past few nights, last night being the best at 14th place. I need to be in the top five places to get the invitation. I was pretty pleased with myself last night :)
This morning, on a whim, I entered the tournament again. I made it to the final table! Three 8's wiped me out of the game, but I was so close. But, I finished NINTH! Only missing the invitation by four people makes me more confident and certainly very happy with my style of playing.
I can make this invitation come to me, I know I can. And, I will!
In other poker news, something strange and horrible also occurred this morning. I was playing on PurePlay in one of the beginner poker rooms. I was holding my own, not losing nor winning. When suddenly I find myself with a lovely straight! Not wanting to scare away the other betters I made several normal bets as the cards came onto the table. All the players were calling and the pot was getting somewhat large. Right after the last card was on the table and just one more player had called my bet and I knew I was going to win the pot, I got redirected to some dumb building supplies company page. WTF?? I tried to go back to the poker site but all I got back to was the home page :( Stupid ads! GRRR! I finally get a great hand and then I get the shaft instead of the pot. How's that for bad luck? LOL

Saving Yourself Money
I've discussed this in my blog before, and it seems more relevant today than it ever did before. In the economy of today, anything that can be done to save your business money, whether it is in time saving measures or stock updates to insure you have the products you need on hand and in stock, or simply keeping track of the stuff you have already, it's a good thing.
The best way to keep track of things in a business is to have great inventory software. Knowing what you have, and exactly where the item is, is an effective tool that helps not only you, but your salespeople as well. Not many customers want to wait around while the clerk goes into the back room to look for something. Time, theirs and yours, is money.
With POS software and barcode equipment shopping is easier for both you and the customer. You'll know what you have on hand and where it is so that you can easily get to the stock and get it to the customer. Makes everyone happy, and a happy customer is a repeat customer.
Whether your business is small or large, online or off, this software can help your business run smoother than you ever thought possible. And, who needs another worrisome headache for their business day? You owe it to yourself and your peace of mind to click the link above and visit the folks at POSGuys. Find the right software, barcode equipment, heck, even security cameras (so you can watch any sneaky employees/customers). POSGuys carries a full line of inventory software for a variety of needs, including general product counting, asset tracking, check in and checkout, as well as software to build your own inventory software solution. From developers such as Proxis Software, New West Technologies, Fishbowl, and Redbeam, these products are a great way for your company to better track your products.
So, don't delay, click that link above. Remember, Time IS money!

Donks R Us
Seems like everywhere I go on the poker sites I run into donks or donkeys, or jackasses, whatever you choose to call them. Most of what I call them is unprintable LOL
I will never understand why anyone would enter a game or a tournament and, first thing they want to do is go all in, haven't even seen the first flop yet. Then they must sit back and grin because most everyone folds like we are afraid of their poker power. I seriously doubt I would call them even if I had pocket aces. I wouldn't want to risk all my chips on the very first hand.
Last night I was in a very friendly little game, six or seven players, all betting two or four dollars here and there. A big bet was maybe 25 dollars. Suddenly two different players join the table and first thing they both do is go all in. What the hell? They didn't even watch the table the first hand they sat out to see there were no big betters? What dumb people!
We finally managed to get rid of these two idiots when, wham, here comes another! I gave up, said goodnight to the decent folks and left the game. I hate donks!

Information Security
On one of the social networking sites that I belong to, one of the more common questions asked is "What is the best anti-virus software?". I have no doubt that this is a popular question because anyone that uses the internet for anything is concerned with what extras they may pick up along the way, especially a virus that can destroy their computer. I've been hacked before and I can tell you, honestly, it is not a fun thing to have happen. There is nothing sadder about using a computer than having someone, somewhere, destroy your hard drive.
If you think that having your personal computer hacked into is bad, what about your business? Think of all the information a business keeps track of in regards to their customers, names, addresses, credit card information. How awful that would be to turn that information unknowingly over to a stranger who could then use that information to literally help himself to goods and services without paying for anything themselves. This is why companies and government agencies rely on IT tech people that are savvy and smart in the ways of hackers and other malicious people in order to protect them from the growing risks and threats to IT functionality, integrity and data privacy they face on a daily basis.If you, or someone that you know, is interested in learning more about these things, then read on my friend, read on!
The Lewis University Online Master of Science in Information Security offers
masters information security degrees in two concentrations, Managerial and Technical.
The Managerial Concentration focuses on the impact of information security
on individual lives and personal privacy, the growing information security
risks facing business and government, strategies for securing information, and the
influence of laws and public policy on how information is secured. It is ideal for IT
analysts, managers, and directors who must define, audit, and examine IT security
policies and procedures.
The Technical Concentration examines how information systems can be
made more secure. It covers information processing systems, secure operating
systems and applications, network security, cryptography, security protocols, and
other issues that confront those charged with securing information networks. The
curriculum includes hands-on training in the identification of security breaches, the
implementation of security policies and procedures, and the resolution of security
problems.
Which concentration is right for you? The Lewis University Online Master of Science in Information Security will challenge your views and help you think and solve problems in new and less conventional ways.
Graduates of our online Master of Science in Information Security program are
ready to take charge of their organization’s IT security needs, act with confidence
and knowledge, and have the vision and innovative tools to stay ahead of the
curve.
With technology expanding exponentially, the need for Information Security professionals is rapidly out-pacing supply. There is a global need for leaders who have the skills and the knowledge to meet the ever-morphing challenges of a modern
world almost entirely dependent on computer networks, databases, and the
Internet. Are you ready to take this challenge? You can get much more information about this exciting career path by either clicking on the link above or by calling an Advisor to learn more at 1-866-967-7046.
Are you ready to meet today’s complex information and data security challenges?

More Poker Stuff
Had my best week so far, surpassing the 8000 points I made in my first week by 55 points. I also did well in a couple of tournaments, both of them qualifiers for a $500 pot. Out of 102 players I placed 17th, not too shabby for a beginner. The second time I placed 16th so I got a little better.
Now if I can just stop getting frustrated by donkeys, people that go all in every single hand just to watch everyone fold and collect the antes and the blinds I might be okay.These people make me want to scream LOL
I am becoming a bit more patient, learning that it is okay to fold when the pair of cards dealt is not that good, or folding when the pair is okay but suddenly the bets before the flop are getting out of hand. I don't want to bet half my money when all I'm holding is a King and maybe a nine. It makes no sense. I notice that, at times, people play poker like they bet on Ebay items, spending more than it is worth. I do not want to be that guy.
***EDIT***
Having come off the best week I've had thus far, I stunk all day long! I lost 900 of my 1000 dollars :( I hope the rest of the week goes better!

Never mind spam, beware of these emails LOL
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - You've got mail - and possibly an STD. The Brazilian Health Ministry has created a Web site to let people inform partners they've got a sexually transmitted disease via an e-mailed virtual postcard.
The official in charge of the ministry's STD and AIDs programs notes that many people have a hard time telling partners they're infected.
Mariangela Simao said in a statement this week that the e-mails may help people "to tackle these diseases directly and with minimum exposure."
One of the cards shows a young man reclining in his underwear. It reads: "Hi! I don't know if this is the best way to tell you, but I've learned that I have an STD."
The card suggests the recipient see a doctor.

To Buy Or To Sell
it's Summertime and it's vacation time for most. A time to hit the road and see new sites, fight new traffic and discover who your family really is. When I was younger, everyone traveled by car and we really discovered just how much animosity could be put into a car, with tempers flaring every few miles as my brother and I fought and my parents yelled and threatened. Oh, the joys of travel!
But these days, it's so much nicer to travel in an RV. Room to stretch out without kicking the drivers seat, room to play games with your siblings and room for those siblings to get away from each other when they want to fight. If you're one of the lucky ones that own an RV, I salute you! But, what if you're one of the unlucky ones and you don't own an RV? You're in luck!
If you have a motorhome and are looking to sell motorhome then you need to click on the link and they can assist you in doing just that. And, if you are in the market for a motorhome, there are plenty of ads to browse to help choose the one that is right for you, be it an RV or a folding camper for those who prefer listening to the kids bicker all day in the back seat of the family car.
Whichever you need to do, buy or sell, this place has lots to offer in assisting you to get what you desire. Give that link a click and see for yourself. Then, if you're a buyer, load up the family and hit the road. If you're a seller, take the money and run to the bank or do whatever needs to be done around the home. Either way, it's all good.

The Answer Is Blowin' In The Wind
No I.D.? No clue who he was? Why??
Rock legend Bob Dylan was treated like a complete unknown by New Jersey police.
Dylan was in Long Branch, N.J., as part of a tour with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp that was to play at a baseball stadium on July 23.
At 5 p.m. a resident called police to report a man looking at houses while wandering around a low-income neighborhood several blocks from the oceanfront.
A 24-year-old police officer appeared on the scene, asked Dylan his name, which didn't ring a bell, even though he said he was there on tour.
``I don't think she was familiar with his entire body of work,'' Long Branch business administrator Howard Woolley said Friday.
A second officer, also in his 20s, responded to assist the first one. He, too, apparently was unfamiliar with Dylan.
The officers asked Dylan for identification. The singer of such classics as Like a Rolling Stone and Blowin' in the Wind said that he didn't have any ID with him and that he was just walking around to pass time before that night's show.
The officers then asked Dylan, 68, to accompany them to the Ocean Place Resort and Spa, where the performers were staying. Once there, tour staff vouched for Dylan.
The officers thanked him for his cooperation.
``He couldn't have been any nicer,'' Woolley said.
Guess it's true. When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.

Darned River
Whether you win a big pot (which I did) or lose "all in" (which I did), that last card, called the river, is nasty! It can make or break you and it doesn't care which.
Of course it is much nicer when the river card makes you a winner.
I'm kind of sleepy today and I'm sure some of my bets were not the best of thinking, but I am holding my own. I have 3600 points as of the moment. Not a big winner but I'm not losing all that much either. If I had not played any tournaments and just logged in every day I'd have 6000 points. So, I'm less than halfway through my weekly points.
I did enter a tournament last night that would have qualified me for next Monday's $500 tournament but I finished in 30th place out of 73 players. Still not bad for a beginner, but not good enough to get into Monday's game. But, I am happy with that finish as it means that 43 other players did worse than I did :)
Still working on my patience and realizing that two pair is not always that good of a hand.

Obsession and Real Life
In America it seems as if everyone suffers from obsession. Either you are obsessed with celebrities that have no real talent but continue to do incredibly stupid things in order to keep themselves in the news, or you are obsessed with being as skinny as a stick, somewhat like a lot of the celebrities you are fond of watching make fools of themselves.
But, for some, being skinny is not an obsession but a real life goal. Tired of carrying around their extra pounds and putting themselves at risk for medical problems they seriously think about losing that weight. But, for these people they also need to seriously consider which weight loss pills are the best for their particular body.
There are so many diets and diet pills on the market today that it is no wonder that people elsewhere think we are obsessed with being skinny. I have to wonder though why, since I am as skinny as a stick and people are always telling me to put some meat on them bones.
If you are one of the many that have chosen to lose some weight, whether to look better or to be healthier, then you seriously need to take a look at this website (click the link above). They have many reviews of different products so that you can easily choose the weight loss pills that are right for you as well as your wallet. Losing weight should not also make you bankrupt.
There is no better time to start a weight loss program than today. The longer you put things off the less likely you are to start. So, click the link above and do your body a favor.

There are so many diets and diet pills on the market today that it is no wonder that people elsewhere think we are obsessed with being skinny. I have to wonder though why, since I am as skinny as a stick and people are always telling me to put some meat on them bones.
If you are one of the many that have chosen to lose some weight, whether to look better or to be healthier, then you seriously need to take a look at this website (click the link above). They have many reviews of different products so that you can easily choose the weight loss pills that are right for you as well as your wallet. Losing weight should not also make you bankrupt.
There is no better time to start a weight loss program than today. The longer you put things off the less likely you are to start. So, click the link above and do your body a favor.
Much better
Yesterday was much better for me. I entered several tournaments and had better results. The first one went okay, nothing major, and I got knocked out at the second table.
I then entered three more smaller tourneys and finished second in two and won one. I still need to practice patience though.
I do not know how anyone can look at 2 cards and not be able to quickly figure out if they want to stay for the flop or get out now. Slowpoke players drive me nuts. And, I fear that might be their intent, taking the focus away from the other players.

Texas Hold 'Em is Dangerous
So, I sit there, calmly playing, trying my best to be a patient player and stay in the game. I'm halfway through the table, three of the five of us are left and one is almost out.
The cards are dealt and I am betting with Aces and Kings, feeling pretty sure I have the winning hand. All five cards are on the table and I am holding a Full House, 2 Aces and 3 Kings. Looks like Lady Luck has finally smiled down upon me. So, one player has folded, leaving me heads up against the player I think I can beat.
I go "All In", feeling confident that the player will fold up like an accordian. Much to my surprise, they call the bet and go "All In" too. Great, I'm thinking big bucks all the way!
Imagine my horror to lose with that Full House to their 4 Kings!
I could have cried!

Hot and Cold
While I am having a lot of fun playing online poker I also notice that there are times I am screaming at the computer and swearing like a sailor.
The cards can run hot and you're winning like crazy and then, suddenly, the cards are very cold and you're feeling lucky if you can actually put a pair together :(
I have to admire those that actually play this game for a living. I don't know how they can persevere under the constant pressure of trying to win a majority of the time.
I'm in my third week of playing on NLOP and here is what I've managed to do. The first week I was okay, it was only a couple of days and I ended the week with 8000 points as well as an invitation to play a special tournament (which I lost. Out of 2500 players I was in the 300-400 people that were left. Not bad for a beginner.)
The second week I ended up with 4100 points. Not that good. I earned 7000 points just for logging each those 7 days (at a 1000 points per daily log in).
This week is looking really awful. So far I have earned 2000 points for my log ins and I am sitting at 900 points. The cards have not been kind to me the past two days. But, there is always hope :)
I can see one thing clearly though. It really is very easy to get addicted to gambling!

Thoughts About Poker
Here are some things I have learned while playing poker online:
Poker players are incredibly slow thinking people. This is especially true when they are staring at two cards! I don't know what is so difficult about looking at your two cards before the flop and deciding good start or time to fold LOL
Poker players are very lousy at math. Sometimes I'd swear they are trying to count on their toes LOL
Some poker players are very funny. We all have two cards. The five cards in the Texas Hold 'Em hand are out. Three aces and two kings. Full house for everyone. All of the players check but one. This moron goes all in like he thinks he is the only one with the full house LOL
Poker players that think their playing skills have improved with a lot of alcohol are wrong. This is a good thing if you are the person playing heads up against them LOL

Expensive Kiss!
And a very lousy hypnotist as well! LOL
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - A South Korean hypnotist has been fined for stealing a kiss on a blind date with a woman he thought he had successfully put in a trance, news reports said Thursday.
The 32-year-old man suggested hypnotizing his 27-year-old date during their first meeting arranged by a matchmaking agency
in August last year, according to the Dong-a Ilbo newspaper and Yonhap news agency.
The woman was eventually persuaded, and the hypnotist chanted: "Black hole! You will plunge deeper into a trance. You will feel thrilled all over your body and if my hand touches your body, you will feel intense pleasure."
When the man, identified only by his surname, Park, thought his technique had worked, he went to kiss her.
But the woman was fully alert, though her eyes were closed, and she pushed him away. Later, she filed accusations that he had sexually harassed her, the reports said.
The Seoul Central District Court fined Park 3 million won ($2,453), they said.
