October 30th, 2007 -- Posted in Consumer News | No Comments »

The latest winner of the World Series of Poker,Jerry Yang, won $12 Million dollars and outlasted over 8K players. The poker world has been on fire with everyone wanting to get on the Hole Em circuit. Hold em is one of the most popular games at casinos and the players are young and old. It is bringing in a whole new crowd that would have never ventured into a casino, and also their fans. This is big business for the casino industry as they try and diversify and attract a broader audience.

For many of the players in the WSOP they were able to hone their skills online. What has gotten harder to find are top USA casinos which have to abide by strict US regulations for online betting. Thanks to sites like topusaonlinecasinos.com you can find a central site that lists free online casinos. Their site is very easy to navigate and easy to understand. What is really nice is that they do not bombard you with pop up ads and other advertisement. They provide a simple table right on the front page that will give you the top 10 current USA online casinos based on bonuses, payouts, and reviews by other users.

With the new laws in place many online casinos and their software partners are pulling the plug. Most online casinos are run by three major software companies which are Playtech, MicorGamming and RTG. These companies license their software to online companies to be able to run their sites. With the European countries the only one left with money to spend online, it will be interesting to see how online gambling transforms itself to remain a viable player.There are still millions of people looking to place their money online, it is a matter of how these companies can work within the laws to keep those customers and their dollars.

Health of real estate

October 27th, 2007 -- Posted in Consumer News | No Comments »

We are in the process in relocating from the East coast to the West coast and I am amazed in the difference in real estate prices that we have found. I keep reading that the market has reached it’s pinnacle and declining, but in both areas we are not seeing this. I think that is the interest rates stay below 6% the housing market will remain steady. This will enable seller like us to maintain our selling price while getting a good rate on our new home. As the demand for new homes softens the demand for older homes will see better averages since more people will be looking to purchase their first home without breaking the bank.

Go camping

October 22nd, 2007 -- Posted in Mens Health | No Comments »

Some of the best times I had when I was a kid was going camping with friends and my scout pack. We would gather our camping gear and head to the hills in New Mexico and then fish and cook by the campfire. No matter how prepared we were there always seemed to be one item that we were missing. There was one time we went up camping during spring break thinking that the weather would be similar to home. When we arrived the weather was nice and in the low 60’s and all we had were shorts and sweatshirts. That night a the temperature dropped and we were covered in snow and thought we were going to freeze to death. I was never so glad to pack my tent the morning and get home.

For businesses they need to take into consideration key stakeholders, owners, and board members when considering insurance which is called key man insurance. This is basically the business taking out a term or universal policy on the key person in the business that should something happen to them the business will be able to go on and protected from outside forces. This can provide extra time and resources while a replacement is sought in the untimely passing of a key person in the business.

The health of Vince

titans

The Tennessee Titans picked Vince Young to take the team to the playoffs and eventually the Super Bowl. He has not been able to have the same success so far in the NFL that he had in college at the University of Texas, but neither has Matt Leinart. The Titans have not been able to produce much of a running game so far this year and this has helped the opposing team to come after the quarterback. There are still great Titans tickets to be had and the idea time is to get them now because they will continue to improve and could make the play-offs this year. The health of Vince Young will be the deciding factor to how the Titans season will go.

Invitation to health

invitations

We received several invitations this past week to participate in cancer awareness events. Since October is National Breast Cancer month you have probably seen the pink ribbons, or the pink themed items that have been for sale. The invitations were to different galas that were to help raise money for local breast cancer chapters to help fund mammograms for those who cannot afford them. We have made such great strides in the early detection of breast and other forms of cancer that more people stand a better chance of survival than in years past.

Healthy lighting

October 17th, 2007 -- Posted in Consumer News | No Comments »

In our new home we had purchased a beautiful rustic hanging light fixture that hangs in our main hallway as you enter the home. It has that rustic craftsmen look and really makes a great entry to the entire home. We have two chandeliers that are placed in our formal family and formal dining room that accent the main light piece. The chandeliers are 8 and 10 lights respectively and we had dimmers placed on them to be able to control the lighting in each room. The design of each fixture is slightly different with the lights pointing down in the formal living room, as we will be reading and doing other activities in that room. While in the dining room the lights are pointing up which helps to create the ambiance for dinner. This is something that we had never considered before until talking with an expert.

cruise for yor health

We recently put together a cruise vacation which is the first time that my wife and I have been on such a vacation. We have always heard that cruises are a great way to vacation since you get to see multiple countries, and there is a great variety of food and activities on the ship. We are looking forward to setting sail on our first ocean voyage and hope that it will be everything that we have heard and read about. I am looking forward to the beautiful islands of the Bahamas and visiting the various port cities and experiencing their culture.

 diamond rings

When I was a young kid my parents took me to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, AR.

Today you can find precious stones without getting your hands dirty and find a great selection of diamond rings at reeds.com where they offer a great selection of diamonds in many different cuts and sizes for men and women.

Living the good life

elegant homes

I was watching a re-run of Seinfeld and forgot about the episode where they wanted to go to Tuscany,but the guy Elaine was dating told them there are no homes available in Tuscany. What Jerry would have found quite convenient is that there are luxury homes that can be rented to enjoy the majestic Italian countryside. Imagine Jerry, George, and Kramer all living in a Tuscan villa. Somehow Seinfeld in Italian may not be as funny.

Treatment for addictions

durg addiction

I was watching a special on the rising trend in todays youth about the increase in recreational drugs. The kids that they interviewed felt that they were in control and there was nothing dangerous with what they were doing. What they fail to realize is the long term effects that they will have because a lot of these drugs alter the neurological pathways and eventually to some type of mental health issues and worse yet death. Drug rehab is thought of as a four letter word and something most parents and even adults in need refuse to admit. Many people fail to realize that long term addiction treatment is something that is required with the help of family and friends. People and young adults must continually manage their cravings as the addiction is something that requires long term help and support. It is through proper education and a solid support network that anyone with a drug addiction can get off and stay off the drugs.

I had an uncle who had become addicted to painkillers, shortly after having knee replacement surgery. The emotional drain on the family was very challenging. He was forced into a 10 day in-patient program, and then weekly visits after that to help him control and eventually stop the addiction. In some people the body will build up a resistance to certain painkillers, forcing the patient to require higher doses to control the pain. This in turn weakens the body’s on defense mechanisms to deal with pain.

There are many types of addictions such as chemical addictions, internet, porn, and food to name a few. Chemical or drug addictions require a lot of support in order for the person to get better. It seems that more and more people are turning to other means to deal with the pressures of todays world. We see more stories everyday of celebrities and their battles with chemical addiction. Even David Hasselhoff was caught on tape talking to his daughter while he was drunk. This is the same guy that was so famous on BayWatch, and now one of the judges on ” Americas got talent” Keeping with the celebrity theme we have Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears.
Britney has lost custody of her children and some close to the family have reported that it may some type of substance abuse that has caused her downward spiral. While the celebrities are the ones that make the news there are millions of Americans that are battling some type of addiction and are need of support and professional help.

healthy NY

Your health care is one thing that many companies must make sure is at the top of their list.

States like New York have introduced Healthy New York which is a state supported health care initiative’s for small business with 50 employees or less. The state has arranged with all the HMO’s (health maintenance organizations) to provide Healthy NY to those sole proprietors and small business owners the option for themselves and their employees. With programs like this may companies can stay competitive and help to attract top notch employees.

This helps those that are living paycheck to paycheck and can now have affordable options for health care.
