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.
